Six centuries of contemporary art: 19th Century – Modern life

Text (Denna text kommer visas under rubriken för webbturen):

Modern life made a breakthrough during the 19^th century. This was a turbulent time in Europe. Wars and revolutions were followed by political reforms and economic growth. Society was changed by new technologies. Railways and factories were built. Improvements in agriculture led to a gradual migration from rural areas to cities. Commerce and entertainment developed. All of this was reflected in both art and design. Artists depicted the inhabitants of the cities and their activities. Life in the countryside emerged as an idyllic escape from the downsides of city life, such as cramped living conditions and poor health. The answer was open air landscape painting, using broad brush strokes and a colourful palette.

Artist: Anna Nordgren

Title: Lady in a Train Window

Description:

The railroad was one of the most important aspects of 19th century social development. Artists were fascinated by it and it enabled them to easily get out of town to rural areas in order to paint. The train journeys provided material for countless subject matters in both the visual arts and in literature. Anna Nordgren spent a long time in both England and France. In this painting, she focuses on leave-taking, either from the family or from a fiancé.

Artist: Albert Louis Dammouse

Title: Vase

Description:

Dammouse experimented with clays and glazes to create objects in a lively, spontaneous style that was remarkably different from the moulded objects with printed decor produced by the porcelain factories. This vase has simple shapes that serve, like a painter’s canvas, as a background for plant decors in harmonious, fluid colours. Dammouse was successful at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1878. He designed for several companies and started his own company in 1892. The Swedish industrialist and collector Carl Robert Lamm bought four vases from the artist’s studio in 1896.

Artist: Édouard Manet

Title: Young Boy Peeling a Pear

Description:

Édouard Manet was a radical artist, both in his way of painting and through his choice of motifs. He was the first to truly make art of the modern life or Parisian everyday life. The Pear Peeler is painted in the broad, almost sketchy way that broke away from finer academic painting. The piece was owned by Anders Zorn, who received it from a friend in Paris before donating it to Nationalmuseum.

Title: Esbjörn at the Study Corner

Description:

Carl and Karin Larsson made a life for themselves in Dalarna, which steered away from modern city life. At the same time, their philosophy of life was modern and innovative. They introduced strong colours, like the blue of the old Baroque cupboard. The children were allowed to take up space on terms corresponding more to that of adults. Esbjörn is doing his homework at a place traditionally reserved for “the master of the house”.

Title: Letter-Writing

Description:

Carl and Karin Larsson made a home for themselves in Dalarna, which steered away from modern city life. But their philosophy of life was, in fact, innovative. They used objects of strong colours and modern solutions next to older items, of which Karin Larsson’s green flower shelf by the window is an example. The girl writing a letter was the daughter of one of Larsson’s employees.

Artist: Unknown

Title: Vase

Description:

In the 1890s a new style was developed: Art Nouveau. Nature was the main source of inspiration. The decor was organically arranged, strictly combined by the artists, with well-balanced forms based on nature. Experiments were made with different techniques and glazes. Artists were engaged by the factories and, from the beginning of the 20th century, more and more women were working as designers.

Title: The Little Gleaner

Description:

Heavy labour was a common theme of the late 19th century modern French art. Hugo Salmson became the most “French” in his painting style of all Swedes. Here, a young girl looks at us with tired eyes during a break in the process of picking the ears spilled during the harvest. It was one way for the poorest to find food. The girl is sitting on a hill without end, as if Salmson wanted to emphasize her endless task.

Title: Edvard Grieg accompanying his Wife

Description:

During the 19th century, mobility increased and artists’ networks expanded. Ties were made across the borders in the Nordic region to a greater extent than ever before. The Danish artist Krøyer was a friend of the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg and his wife, who spent winters in Copenhagen. Preserved letters talk about how Krøyer asks to paint the couple in evening light, and he wished that they played and sang, and not just posed for him.

Title: Hypnotic Séance

Description:

During the 19th century, naturalism emerged in literature. Authors like Emile Zola and August Strindberg depicted the everyday lives of ordinary people in a deep psychological way. The visual artists followed, and Richard Bergh’s painting shows how people got interested in modern medical science and the different levels of human consciousness. Hypnosis was a way to get in touch with the subconscious.

Title: View of Stockholm from Skansen

Description:

Karl Nordström’s view from Skansen shows a developing Stockholm. Along Strandvägen in the front right of the background, several houses were built in the 1880s as homes for the growing wealthy bourgeoisie. Further into the city, factories can still be found that were later torn down in favour of housing construction.

Artist: Henry Lerolle

Title: The Organ Rehearsal

Description:

“You expect the woman to start singing!” The painting was perceived to be so natural that several in the audience are said to have exclaimed this when it was exhibited. Lerolle was a key person in the circle around Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and often painted scenes from the modern city. When told that the right part of the picture gave the impression of being empty, he replied that it was reserved for the sound of the song.
