Good Art March

The name "Fine Art" has been used in other contexts before. In 1941, the exhibition "FINE ART IN EVERY HOME" opened under the auspices of HSB. The aim of the exhibition was to advocate for fine art in homes. The preface of the catalog mentions that it is not enough to build good housing; art must also have its place. The main principle was to offer fine art to a broader public at affordable prices. To ensure that the art was indeed "fine," a jury of renowned artists and art critics was engaged. They examined the artworks to be exhibited. The result was, for example, the possibility to buy GAN's oil painting "Berns 1918" for 5000 kronor, the tempera "Ratten" for 350 kronor, and "Laboratorium" for 500. Other names included in the "art for the people" project were Oskar Bergman, Einar Jolin, Arne Jones, Isaac Grünewald, Sixten Lundbohm, Erik and Axel Olson. The exhibition's 10th anniversary was held at Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm.
In the same year, 1941, Gunnar Hjorthén (1913-1997) opened the "Galleri Fine Art" on Vallgatan in Gothenburg. He came to be regarded as something of an institution in Gothenburg's art scene. The gallery gradually moved to locations such as Drottninggatan, Konserthuset, and Södra vägen. Hjorthén devoted himself to promoting and highlighting "young art" with artists such as Ivan Ivarson, Karin Parrow, Ragnar Sandberg, and Inge Schiöler. Thanks to Hjorthén and the "Galleri Fine Art," Gothenburg Colorism became a concept. Like the Swedish-French Art Gallery, Hjorthén early sought out Paris and facilitated contact with the new painting through the gallery. For example, in 1953, Tsugoharu Foujita exhibited there.
Welcome to the viewing and let yourself be inspired.
