Over the last 100 years in Sweden, John Bauer’s fairy tale illustrations have maintained a strong grip on that nation’s popular imaginary through over thirty reprint editions, museum exhibits, stamp collections, and, of course, stylistic imitations. While their century-old narrative contexts remain relatively unknown and uninteresting to contemporary audiences, his beautifully blonde children, enchantingly ugly trolls, and stark, Swedish landscapes continue to be bought, sold, and validated as embodying a typically Swedish relationship to nature.

  • Fantasy Imaginaries and Landscapes of Desire Gustaf Tenggren’S Forgotten Decades
    JoAnn Conrad Fantasy Imaginaries and Landscapes of Desire Gustaf Tenggren’s Forgotten Decades Abstract: Gustaf Tenggren (1896–1970) was a 20th-century Swedish-born American illustrator of children’s books, magazines, advertisements, and artwork for the Disney Studio. Tenggren’s work was so ubiquitous that it remains in circulation and widely recognized today. But this large body of work has been understudied, as has its impact on the popular imagi- nation. This article revisits Tenggren’s long career, and reinserts periods often skipped over, such as his work in magazine advertising during the 1920s and 1930s, and argues that although Tenggren is most often referred to as a children’s book and fairy-tale illustrator, his style was developed in the commercial field of magazine advertising, which incorporated aspects of modern art. That is, those aspects of modernism – abstraction, attention to form, the bright use of color for emotional impact – that were so much a part of fin de siècle Europe, a time when Tenggren was in art school, were appropriated first by advertising in America, and then by children’s book illustration. Thus, in the process, modernism was translated and democra- tized for middle-class consumers. Keywords: fairy-tale illustrations, modernism, advertising, consum- erism, gender, Gustaf Tenggren Despite a prolific career that spanned from the 1910s through the 1960s, Gustaf Tenggren, the Swedish-born American illustrator is not a well-known name. His work, in contrast, is widely recognized and was, in mid-20th century America, ubiquitous. From his illustrated advertisements and women’s magazine illustrations in the 1920s and 30s, to his work for the Disney Studio from 1936 to 1939, to his many children’s books, especially the Little Golden Books series, Tenggren participated in popular media forms as they were emerging, thus significantly contributing not only to the look of these media, but also popular perception of them.

  • Esther Ellqvist
    Esther Ellqvist Kvinna och konstnär kring sekelskiftet 1900 Elisabeth Malmborg Konstvetenskap, Sektionen för Humaniora Högskolan i Halmstad C-uppsats, 15 hp, höstterminen 2008 Handledare: Helen Fuchs Sammanfattning Syftet med min undersökning var att undersöka Esther Ellqvists situation att verka som kvinnlig konstnär kring sekelskiftet 1900. Jag har utgått från ett genusperspektiv och med hjälp av litteratur och brev från brevsamlingen på Jönköpings läns museum har jag övergripande försökt kartlägga hennes liv som konstnär och kvinna. Med hjälp av mitt material har jag studerat henne i en samhällelig kontext. Jag har undersökt hur hennes uppväxt och sociala kapital påverkat hennes situation. Med hjälp av Pierre Bourdieus teori om socialt kapital och genom att kartlägga hennes liv som konstnär och kvinna i samhället i Sverige runt sekelskiftet 1900, har jag funnit aspekter som påverkat Esthers förutsättningar att som kvinna nå framgång inom det konstnärliga fältet. De rådande konventionerna om hur en gift kvinna, även ogift, förväntades vara och sysselsätta sig tycks till viss del ha hindrat henne. I breven har jag även funnit en osäkerhet och tveksamhet från henne själv angående sitt konstutövande. Esther Ellqvist föddes 1880 på landsbygden i Skåne. Efter att hennes mor Johanna Ellqvist mottagit ett större arv 1889 flyttade familjen till Stockholm där Esther kom att studera på Konstakademin. Esthers familjs förbättrade ekonomi medverkade till gynnsamma möjligheter för henne att lyckas i konstvärlden då utbildning var nödvändig. Vid Konstakademin knöt Esther kontakter och förstärkte sitt sociala kapital. Vänner från den tiden har beskrivit Esther som en levnadsglad ung kvinna och hennes konst som lovande. Dessa beskrivningar har varit av vikt för mig i min undersökning då det knappt finns något dokumenterat om hennes konst.

  • In Defence of a Good Copy: a Discussion on Craft Making
    IN DEFENCE OF A GOOD COPY: A DISCUSSION ON CRAFT MAKING AND AUTHENTICITY Seher UYSAL* Abstract: Between the years 1941 and 1982 two crafts makers and brothers Tor and Åke Carlsson made wooden relief copies of John Bauer paintings. John Bauer was a very well known Swedish painter and illustrator who depicted scenes from folkloric stories. These stories were about dense forests, lakes, trolls, princes and witches. Although Bauer was a prominent figure who was very keen on keeping the copyrights of his work, the wooden copies became a sensation in the rural town Tranås. The Bauer paintings and motifs were popular and very well known in Sweden and Åke and Tor Carlsson were aware they were making wooden replicas of his work but adding their own subtle interpretations. They designed and carved the Bauer works on wood and signed them with their famous inscription: “Fritt efter John Bauer (A free interpretation of John Bauer). The wooden copies were so popular they became collectors’ items and can still be found in auctions today. They were not artworks, yet they exceeded the idea of craft making. “In defence of a good copy” investigates why the Bauer copies were so popular, researching the different aspects of copies and its merits as an art object or as memorabilia.
