What defines Swedish painting?

At the end of the 19th century, the painters of Sweden asked themselves this question. They moved to France, cavorted with the Impressionists, picked up a few tips, were called imitative, fled home and began to investigate visual ideas about their country.
On Thursday night Michelle Facos (art historian) and David Werner (collector) attempted to define what characterizes Swedish Modernism. Werner compared the mood of these landscape paintings to a Bergman movie: introspective, contemplative and symbolist. Facos agreed. These artists translated their emotional connection with the landscape to the canvas. Their palette: shades of gray. Swedish painters of this period wanted to create a national school = national identity.
They did not succeed. This period is a minor blip in history of art. The American Scandinavian Foundation in organizing Luminous Modernism wants us to take another look at this period. And although these paintings will probably not remain in my memory, I do appreciate the attempt to articulate a passion for landscape; after all that is what I am trying to do in my own work.
