Swedish Modernism

“The Brücke-Museum presents the first comprehensive exhibition on Swedish modernism in Germany. Celebrated as ‘Swedish Expressionists’ at the Berliner Sturm gallery in 1915, the paintings and drawings of artists such as Sigrid Hjertén and Isaac Grünewald are known to only a few in Germany today. The exhibition aims to change this. The focus is on the artist groups De unga (The Young Ones) and De åtta (The Eight), as well as the Gothenburg Colourists. Swedish Modernism aims to illustrate the common aspirations of the groups as well as to explore the diverse and independent artistic developments of the participating artists. …”
