Nordic landscape painting 1840-1910

We started out with Nordic landscape painting 1840-1910 at the National Museum of Art (in Stockholm), an exhibition with painters from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Island.

Some of the paintings from the museum's own collections, some from other museums in Scandinavia.

The paintings were organised in five different themes, 'mood'/'atmospheric'-painting, 'the inner landscape' and so forth.

From this exhibition we went on to Kulturhuset ("the Cultural Center"/"The Culture House") to see the artist Jin-Sook So, a textile-artist working in different materials and forms. She was born in South Korea but lives in Sweden since 1978, having studying both in Sweden and in her native country.

'The first at Moderna' is the recurring exhibitions the first day of every month at Moderna museet (Museum of Modern Art) where a new artist is introduced, showing some of the works in the presence of the artist her- or himself.

This time it is the Canadian artist Janice Kerbel. For a description of her work, take a look at the link to the museum above.
