1	Searching for Svea Rike Hallstensson, Filippa January 2022 (has links) 2030 marks the 100-year anniversary of The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 and what is often described as an important breakthrough of modernism in Sweden. The “special exhibition” Svea Rike - with the task of strengthening the national identity- has not been given the same attention as other exhibition halls in The Stockholm Exhibition in architectural history. Svea Rike was not part of the initial plans of The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 and is therefore missing in the early and most published plans and models of the exhibition. Exterior and interior photographs of the special exhibition disclose parts of Svea Rike but it’s never entirely uncovered. In the Svea Rike pavilion at The Stockholm Exhibition 1930 the development of Sweden was shown in a full picture and near the entrance, Herman Lundborg, Head of the State Institute for Racial Biology in Uppsala presented his work on typical racial descriptions and the significance of heritage through photographs, sculptures, and illustration. To see the building Svea Rike is also to see how race and modernity are interconnected and central in the history. Through careful research into archives and collections, examining drawings, photographs, objects, correspondence and other texts, this project aims to find out what the building Svea Rike looked like. Through reading, investigating, approximating, drawing, and model, information is overlapped and a reconstruction of Svea Rike offers a way to see the Stockholm Exhibition from the building Svea Rike.

2	Att måla en ö : Karl Nordströms Tjörn runt 1910 Juster, Daniel January 2021 (has links) Denna uppsats studerar Karl Fredrik Nordströms (1855–1923) konstnärliga relation till ön Tjörn på den svenska västkusten med särskilt fokus på åren kring 1910. Nordström återkom ständigt i sina landskapsmålningar till Tjörn och prövade sig fram genom olika konstinriktningar som impressionism, syntetism, symbolism och nationalromantik. Genom bildanalys av tre verk, observationer samt källforskning finner jag att Nordström under lång tid sökte efter att återge Tjörn på ett nöjaktigt sätt, men att först efter att ha funnit sin egen konstnärliga process, ett konstnärligt uttryck, och var fri från omvärldens krav, lyckades han i sin föresats. / This paper studies the artist Karl Nordström's (1855-1925) artistic relation to the Swedish island Tjörn with a specific emphasis on the years around 1910. Norsdstöm repeatedly returned to Tjörn for inspiration for his landscape portraits, practicing impressionism, synthetism, symbolism and national romantics. By analyzing three different paintings, by observations at Tjörn and by studying primary sources, I find that Nordström kept on trying to capture the nature at Tjörn, but it was only after he had found his own process and expression, and was freed from outside expectations, that he succeded.

3	Greta Magnusson Grossman : Från funkis till California Modern Magnusson Harling, Emma January 2024 (has links) This thesis explores the architecture, interior design and furniture design of Greta Magnusson Grossman (1906-1999), a pioneering Swedish Modernist who emigrated to the United States in 1940 and became part of the design movement California Modern in Los Angeles. Despite a productive and acclaimed career, her work was more or less forgotten until rediscovered in the early 2000’s.In this thesis, Greta Magnusson Grossman’s broader context is understood through literature studies of the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition, the introduction of Swedish Modern at the 1939 New York World’s Fair, the postwar design movement California Modern, and the International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1948. Similar needs for well designed, low cost housing and furniture in the two countries are found.To further examine the work of Magnusson Grossman, her 1949 residence at Waynecrest Drive in Los Angeles is visually analyzed and compared with contemporary Case Study House #8 by American design couple Charles and Ray Eames from 1949, and Swedish furniture designer and architect Bruno Mathsson’s Exhibition Hall from 1950. Several correlations between the three environments are identified, and confirms Greta Magnusson Grossman’s progressive contributions in the fields of architecture, interiors and furniture design.
