Evert Lundquist. Moderna Museet, through 11 April 2010, Stockholm
Evert Lundquist (1909-1994), an artist who made his debut in 1934, is considered the central figure of Swedish Modernism. After a retrospective at the Stockholm Academy of Art in 1944, Lundquist became one of the most significant phenomena of Swedish art scene. His artistic career spanned more than 50 years and included highlights like taking part in the São Paulo Biennial, receiving the International Guggenheim Award in New York and appearing at the London Tate Gallery's show of a hundred greatest living artists of the time. Lundquist's final painting was dated 1989. However, after his death, the public lost interest in his art; over time, his name for many people has come to be synonymous with a bourgeois painter with a typically classical manner of expression. The show at Moderna Museet aims to present Evert Lundquist's art in the original light, stripped of the associations superimposed on it over the course of time.
