The period European modernism has marked a breakthrough in art spawned by the liberation of individual artists from established conventions. In Scandinavia, aside from the widespread display of unbridled passion for experimentation, no common feature emerged. This period is characterized most of all by the variety of innovative approaches, making this an exciting and revolutionary period in the history of European art. Filled with colorful illustrations of paintings, this splendid book captures the turbulence and artistic fervor of this era while its essays explore the different manifestations in each Scandinavian country. Artists documented include: Nils Dardel, Siri Derkert, Isaac Grünewald, Sigrid Hjertén, Per Krohg, Jón Stefánsson, Tyko Saalinen and many more.
