Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Georgy and Vladimir Stenberg, central participants of the Russian avant-garde and the first to use the term "constructivist", were Swedish. Thanks to the first international 'two-person' museum exhibition on the Stenberg brothers, in the summer of 1997 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, interest in their work has been renewed. The focus of the MoMA exhibition was on the film posters. In addition to the Stenbergs' work as constructivists and theatre scenographers, this is the part of their work that has brought them most international fame. There is, however, one aspect which, if mentioned at all, is mentioned only in passing: the Stenbergs were chief designers for the Red Square in Moscow. In addition to a brief presentation of the Swedish heritage of Vladimir Augustovich (1899 - 1982) and Georgy Augustovich Stenberg (1900 - 1933), the aim of this article is to introduce the Stenbergs as designers for the celebrations in the Red Square. Other key places along the parade route in central Moscow were the Palace of the Soviets and Gorky Park. The Stenberg brothers participated in all three projects. In order to get an idea of what proportions these mass stagings had, I will discuss them in the context of the reconstruction of Moscow into a parade centre, the first five-year plan, and the cultural revolution, all of which took place at the same time as the Stenbergs established themselves as designers for street festivities. First of all, however, I shall give a short background of Georgy and Vladimir Stenberg and their aesthetical standpoints in art.

Anne-Marie Ericsson. The Interiors of M/S Kungsholm: Masterpieces in Swedish Art Deco
- 2008
-

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Art Deco is a style that has hitherto gained too little attention in Swedish history of art and design. With her special focus on the 1920s and 1930s Anne-Marie Ericsson, a well known author and lecturer in the Swedish design world, is the just author for this period. Therefore I open her M/S Kungsholms inredning. Mästerverk i svensk art deco [The Interior of M/S Kungsholm. A masterpiece in Swedish art deco][i] with great expectations.As the title implies, the aim of the book is to treat the interiors of M/S Kungsholm, the show-piece of the Swedish American Line. This focus is reasonable, insofar as the exterior presented nothing new, according to the author, whereas the interior was enthusiastically received by the New York press as a “fairy tale castle” when she arrived on her maiden voyage in New York, December 1928. (p. 9).Trying to present a reconstruction of how the ship looked, although almost nothing remains of it today, Anne-Marie Ericsson has taken upon herself a task that is not an easy one. The fate of M/S Kungsholm was unfortunate. After a glorious decade, she transported troops during World War II, incredibly enough escaped bombs and torpedoes, became a cruise ship in the Mediterranean and was finally broken up in Bilbao in 1964. By that time, the interiors had been almost entirely extinguished and the furniture plundered or sold.[i] If not stated otherwise, all the translations from Swedish to English are my own, M.T.

Coloured Universe and the Russian Avant-Garde : Matiushin on Colour Vision in Stalin's Russia, 1932
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Colour vision was of fundamental importance in modernist art. One reason its significance has been studied so little with regard to Russian art is that Soviet archives were inaccessible until the early 1990s. This work is the first close study on a so-called laboratory in an art- and science institute in the Soviet Union in the 1920s. It is based on extensive research in twenty different Russian archives, each including numerous archival funds, in addition to the Stedelijk Museum Prentenkabinet in Amsterdam and other unpublished material.Contemporary ideas from German Bauhaus and De Stijl in Holland have received deserved attention. In the Soviet Union, avant-garde artists were silenced as enemies of the people – their priorities were other than the class struggle.The implicit narrative of the book, is about a group of intellectuals who struggled to work with what they believed in, e.g. an expansion and change of innate possibilities to create something never seen before, despite political oppression.The aim of this study is to present and analyse the hitherto unknown colour theory of Mikhail Matiushin (1866–1934) published in Leningrad and Moscow in 1932.The work is divided into five parts. The first part, Colour, deals with the contexts of history, colour and art. During the 1920s a number of institutes for interdisciplinary scientific research in art, design and architecture were founded in the Soviet Union. One of them was the Institute of Artistic Culture in Leningrad – GINKhUK – where Malevich and Tatlin also worked. One goal was to formulate a universal language with mathematics as the ideal science, to be collected into an encyclopaedia for visual culture (art, architecture, design); another goal was to redesign the world for the masses outside the ‘dead’ museums, and to produce a new kind of human being, a third goal. There the artist, musician and theoretician Mikhail Matiushin supervised the Department of Organic Culture with his Laboratory of Colour.The second part, Vision, analyses Matiushin's training programme, a variant of synaesthetical union of the senses, which includes an extension of the visual angle to a complete 360°; i.e., the consciously amplified eye, defined in Matiushin’s peculiar way.The third part, Culture, compares Matiushin with the theosophist mystics Pëtr Uspenskii and C. H. Hinton, the painter Wassily Kandinsky and the philosopher Henri Bergson.Part four, Ideology, sheds light on colour from those whose perspective was based on the State philosophy of dialectical materialism. By the early 1930s, the innovative institutes were closed down due to centralization of all expressions of culture under the banner of Socialist Realism.The last part, Synthesis, provides a detailed discussion on what happened after the 1930s. It concludes with the colour theory text, both its Russian original and for the first time in English translation.The belief is that Matiushin’s colour theory was not given any consideration after its publication in 1932. The results of this study show, however, that his colour handbook has been and still is used in the colour design of St. Petersburg.
