Tulips and Roses – an expose about Swedish Folk Art and its pattern traditions put into a social, socio-economic and topographic context.
Ulla-Karin Warberg will use the folk art patterns as a starting point to show how they were adapted and used in different parts of Sweden. This will give a glimpse of how complex the vernacular art is due to economical and geographical circumstances. The objects she will cover everything from older paintings/watercolors showing interiors of farmsteads, painted furniture, textiles, betrothal gifts, paintings (bonader) and minor handicraft.
