Rackstadkolonin – Mood painting, handicraft and design

Welcome to a fascinating presentation spotlighting the work of the Rackstad Colony, one of Sweden’s most influential artist groups at the turn of the century 1900. Artists and craftsmen had gradually gathered in the idyllic milieu by Lake Racken in the western province of Värmland, and these included Gustaf Fjaestad and his wife Maja Fjaestad, Christian Eriksson, Fritz Lindström, Björn Ahlgrensson and Hilma Persson-Hjelm.
