In the contemporary press Stig Lindberg was depicted as a light-hearted comic, constantly creative, witty and impulsive. He created whimsical studio ceramics and graceful tableware lines during a long career with the Gustavsberg ceramic/porcelain factory in Sweden (1937-1982). The catalogue is filled with colorful illustrations that portray Lindberg’s fun and unique designs. The focus in this catalogue is also on the role of the artist, trade mark strategies and artistic copyright. Together, the catalogue’s four articles offer a description of how the collaboration of art and industry in the 20th century gave rise to effects other than the aesthetic ideals we normally associate with the concept of the Swedish art industry. The aim of these articles is to provide fuel for reflection and discussion about the role of art versus copyright protection.

Enter into the magical world of the illuminated manuscript, one of the richest art forms from the Middle Ages in Europe. Living Words originated from a desire to make the contents of these manuscripts more accessible, thus exposing the various hidden facets of Middle Age life. This book explores the use and significance of the new book form-the codex-that revolutionized both the history of bookmaking and the history of civilization itself, as the written word now achieved a more flexible and durable medium. Chapters also deal more specifically with the role of the book in Medieval Denmark as well as Danish collections of the 18th Century. Written in striking detail and filled with colorful, illustrative pictures, this book provides fascinating glimpses of the life and light of the Middle Age period in Europe.
