The Museum of Sketches was founded in 1934 by Ragnar Josephson (1891-1966), during his time as Professor of Art History at the University of Lund (Sweden). The intention was to establish an archive of the creative process, or the path of the artist from the first idea to the finished work. The aim was to collect sketches, models and photographs to Public Art – as the study material relating to it was especially suited, by the frequent demand on abundant preliminary sketches.
Welcome to a guided tour in English at Skissernas Museum (Museum of Public Art) on Sunday February 5, from 2 – 3 p.m.
Siri Derkert´s (1888 – 1973) creative activity, combines international modernism of the 1900´s with a new public art in Sweden during the 1960´s and 1970´s. Derkert is considered to be one of the greatest artist of the century, and represented Sweden at the first Biennial in Venice in 1962. For the first time since the 1970´s, her unique and many-faceted artistry is highlighted in a large retrospective exhibition, which was first shown at Moderna Museum in Stockholm and during the autumn at Skissernas Museum.
