Group exhibition

Swedish Modernism

Sigrid Hjertén, Isaac Grünewald, Nils Dardel and others

Paintings and drawings by Swedish modernists, drawn from Stockholm’s Moderna Museet, in the first large show of the movement in Germany.

The show introduces German audiences to Swedish modernism, once billed as “Swedish Expressionists” at Berlin’s Sturm gallery in 1915. It centers on the groups De Unga, De åtta and the Göteborg Colourists, who, like the Brücke artists, broke with academic tradition, and it traces both their shared aims and their individual paths.

Key works come from the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, as the second part of a collection exchange; the Brücke-Museum’s own holdings were shown in Stockholm in 2024. Sigrid Hjertén, Isaac Grünewald, Nils Dardel and Henri Matisse are among the artists.
