Correlating cultural and ideological positions: André Lhote, Paris, and his former international students

from 11 December 2017 to 12 December 2017

For many early to mid-twentieth century artists from around the world André Lhote's (1885-1962)theoritical and practical lessons were a basis for the development of individual and regional modernisms. The conference seeks to analyse to what extent André Lhote, as a key figure in global modernism and until now unjustly neglected, was able to give rise to forms of artistic production.

Form and colour - André Lhote and swedish cubism

from 16 September 2017 to 21 January 2018

STOCKHOLM PRINS EUGEN WALDEMARSUDDE

Many Swedish artists studied under André Lhote. This exhibition is the first to focus on the extensive but unknown teacher-student relationships that began in the early 1910s between Lhote and his first Swedish students, Georg Pauli and Prince Eugen. In the ensuing five decades, Pauli and Eugen were followed by several generations of Swedish painters; some50 of these are featured in this presentation, including Siri Derkert, Olle Beartling, Philip von Schrantz and Elsa Danson Waghals. Works by Georges Braque, Robert Delaunay and other artists are also shown in the exhibition.
