In a research and exhibition project, the Gothenburg Museum of Art intends to deepen, broaden and nuance the image of Gothenburg Colorism, while examining the myths and historiography of the movement. The project will result in a research-based exhibition catalogue and an exhibition at the museum in the summer of 2023. Gothenburg Colorism is one of the most beloved art movements in the Gothenburg Museum of Art's collection, as well as the movement that is nationally most associated with Gothenburg's art scene in the 20th century. The Gothenburg Colorists have been featured in a number of exhibitions over the years but have not been shown in Gothenburg recently. Most recently, Ivan Ivarson was recognized with a solo exhibition at the Gothenburg Museum of Art in 2010, but without a catalogue. It may therefore be justified to present the direction to new generations of visitors, but also to broaden and update the perspective and critically examine some of the romanticizing myths that have flourished around the so-called Gothenburg colorists. The purpose of the project is to approach Gothenburg colorism from new critical perspectives, historiographical canon criticism and feminist perspectives, criticism of myth formation and artist myths, inclusion of a broader context chronologically and geographically and to study networks and relationships. In this way, the Gothenburg Museum of Art hopes to offer an updated, nuanced and in-depth picture of the direction.
