Ring’s paintings testify to the radical artistic and cultural shifts that took place in the decades around 1900, more so than the works of many other artists from the period. Painted on the threshold of modern life, Ring’s works contain the new as concrete objects, as motifs, but also “the modern” as a state of mind. The exhibition and catalogue aim to place Ring in relation to the somewhat diffuse concepts of realism and symbolism, providing audiences with insights into how Ring utilizes both strategies in his art and how the shifts between the two views of the world are of fundamental significance to how we experience the works.
