Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | In the Gothenburg Colourists' expressive painting, the grey city of Gothenburg is draped in shimmering hues. Bright colours, sweeping brushstrokes, personal subject matter and emotional visions have endeared paintings by artists such as Åke Göransson, Ivan Ivarson, Nils Nilsson, Ragnar Sandberg and Inge Schiöler to the public. Gothenburg Colourism, a dynamic, colour-driven expressionism without comparison at the national level, had its heyday in the 1930s. It is a visually striking but also tactile style that speaks to the viewer's senses. The motifs were chosen from the immediate surroundings: portraits and self-portraits, model studies, urban scenes and still lifes. A full spectrum of bright colours was used, creating novel modes of expression in combination with the rhythm of the brushstrokes and the thickness of the oil paint. A comprehensive, richly illustrated catalogue has been produced in conjunction with the exhibition. It presents new research, providing in-depth knowledge about Gothenburg Colourism in newly written essays by several researchers and writers. Highlighting the city's importance, and questions concerning galleries, collectors and reception, as well as the artist's role and historiography, the texts allow us to see the entire movement in a new light.
