A theme treated in this book from a number of different angles is the importance of earlier Spanish art to the art of the period from the 19th century until today. The book starts by presenting various categories of significant motifs in earlier Spanish art. The second part of the book gives examples of how these categories of motifs -religious motifs, portrait paintings, still lifes and genre motifs by the likes of El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez and Goya -inspired a number of paintings in Sweden as well as elsewhere in Europe in the period from the 19th century up to present.

In the spirit of today’s youth, this highly controversial topic regarding the attitudes of the West towards “foreigners” comes to light through this examination of the representations of foreigners in art. The tone of these representations range from respect, pity, to forthright hatred, though Western hierarchy is often expressed very subtly. Also, the concept of the exotic has always been a source of intrigue, especially in art. Through our abilities of thought and imagination, we can remove ourselves from our reality and create a dream-world where everything is markedly different. A foreign culture can be romanticized when there is dissatisfication with one’s own reality. Yet, nationalistic feelings, for example, can change a dream about a beautiful island culture in the south into the belief that the culture is made up lazy individuals. This book attempts to illuminate the dividing line between exoticism and hatred through numerous essays such as, “Dream of the Orient,” “Concept of the African,” and “Swedes’ impression of Laplanders,” to name a few.

A very comprehensive and highly intellectual study of Nordic art in the 4th-5th century, which took a huge turn from its antique heritage. In the place of monumentalism came an intimate and storytelling art. It became richly decorated in patterns that can seem almost uncomprehensible today. This second volume focuses on the bird as a mesenger of the future as well as animals and people in the art. This book is part of Asger Jorn 7 Volume series on Nordic art. Exquisite illustrations of medieval art from Scandinavia made from stone and metal including silver and bronze.

This publication represents the work of Henry Füssli (1741-1825) whose paintings and drawings drew from Shakespeare and Milton for subjects of romanticism. Exhibited with his contemporary artist, John Tobias Sergel, one can see how a modern spirit pervades Fuessli’s work and relates closely to that of the classicist Sergel.
