Paper 1107-a | Building Painted Castles in the Air: Medievalism, Internal Colonisation, and White Fragility in Carl Larsson's Art (Language: English) Index terms: Art History - Decorative Arts, Art History - Painting, Language and Literature - Scandinavian, Medievalism and Antiquarianism |
Abstract | Paper -a examines Carl Larsson's book illustrations and controversial murals; often showing medieval scenes, they visually redraw contemporary medievalisms, but suffused by similar anxieties about indigeneity and identity as criticisms of his work and fin-de-siecle Scandinavian nationalism generally. |
