Helén writes:
I will give a gallery talk about four of the artworks from Nationalmuseum that are on display at the Second House of Sweden. These four motifs were made at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century. We can see how nature inspired these Swedish artists in different ways. Nature reflects the inner moods of these artists, while at the same time the artists express Swedish tradition and culture through these motifs.
The four art pieces are by these artists: Ernst Josephson (1851-1906), “The Water Sprite”, painted 1882; Anders Zorn (1860-1920), “Midsummer Dance”, painted 1897; Prince Eugen (1856-1949), “The Cloud”, painted 1896; Märta Måås Fjetterström (1873-1941), “Unicorn in the forest”, textile from 1920.
See you there! It’ll be interesting to see how the new voice technology can be used in this setting.
Oh this is great! I can’t wait to hear the gallery talk! It’s on my calendar! I’m so glad that you’re using the new SL Voice!!! I’ve loved using it in SL so far I’m looking forward to seeing it’s use in this setting.
No, I missed the session!!! Are you having more of these?
