He thereby contributed to his own marginalization. Having succeeded in assuming a prominent position in the European art world in the years after the turn of the century, he removed himself so much from the scene of action that he eventually was more or less forgotten. His trajectory thus moves from a poor childhood in Smaland and Iowa to considerable fame for a decade and a half— he was, for instance, repeatedly compared by well‐known critics to Rodin, Meunier, and Rosso ‐to an increasingly obscure position in Los Angeles. The article traces the marginalization process in the case of David Edstrom, investigating the factors that cause his gradual exclusion from the canon, and it argues that his art, even if never fulfilled its promises, still is of such significance that it should again receive the attention that it deserves.

In order to get a grip of the vast material and investigate the transition from Realist to Symbolist art, several strategies could be followed. One is to look at how man is depicted in relation to the elements, fire, air, water, earth. This study concentrates, to begin with, on how fire is represented during the two periods. In realistic paintings fire is almost always domesticated in the hearth, especially in cast iron fireplaces, i.e. represented as a utility and commodity. In Symbolism the fire is usually a log‐fire, functioning as a catalyst of emotions, of inward, melancholic moods.

Thanks to the first international 'two-person' museum exhibition on the Stenberg brothers, in the summer of 1997 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, interest in their work has been renewed. The focus of the MoMA exhibition was on the film posters. In addition to the Stenbergs' work as constructivists and theatre scenographers, this is the part of their work that has brought them most international fame. There is, however, one aspect which, if mentioned at all, is mentioned only in passing: the Stenbergs were chief designers for the Red Square in Moscow. In addition to a brief presentation of the Swedish heritage of Vladimir Augustovich (1899 - 1982) and Georgy Augustovich Stenberg (1900 - 1933), the aim of this article is to introduce the Stenbergs as designers for the celebrations in the Red Square. Other key places along the parade route in central Moscow were the Palace of the Soviets and Gorky Park. The Stenberg brothers participated in all three projects. In order to get an idea of what proportions these mass stagings had, I will discuss them in the context of the reconstruction of Moscow into a parade centre, the first five-year plan, and the cultural revolution, all of which took place at the same time as the Stenbergs established themselves as designers for street festivities. First of all, however, I shall give a short background of Georgy and Vladimir Stenberg and their aesthetical standpoints in art.","PeriodicalId":41575,"journal":{"name":"KONSTHISTORISK TIDSKRIFT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82970817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research in art history has characterized the relationship between the two sculptors as marked by conflict, both on the artistic level and, above all, on the personal level. In this essay I have shown that while this may have been the case in the initial stages of their acquaintance, any conflict between the two of them eventually dissapated. Instead, Bystrom and Fogelberg helped one another in different ways. The conflict which indeed existed had its basis in competition over important commissions, certain personal antagonisms, and artistic differences in an age characterized by the choice between Classicism and Romanticism. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that both sculptors took on th...","PeriodicalId":41575,"journal":{"name":"KONSTHISTORISK TIDSKRIFT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74908685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
