Opis

The arts played a crucial role in reinforcing a shared sense of belonging amongst Nordic countries as they strove to identify and celebrate authentic local and national identities and “Home” was a central metaphor in the nation - building activities of each country. The linkages among land, landscape, handicraft and domestic dwellings as dimensions of home are embedded in this survey of the extensive David and Sue Werner Collection of Scandinavian art, presented to the public for the first time. Encompassing an impressive range of almost 150 paintings, drawings, furniture, textiles, glass, metalworks, ceramics and works on paper, highlights include rare tapestries and a wooden cabinet by the Norwegian artist Gerhard Munthe, Finnish ceramics by Willy Finch, landscape paintings by Hilma af Klint, Akseli Gallen - Kallela, Gustav Fjaestad and Pekka Halonen and anonymous functional objects by outstanding handicraft artists – covering embroideries, metalwork and wooden implements.
