内容介绍：

本书展示了大英博物馆从战后至今收藏的丹麦、瑞典、挪威、芬兰和冰岛等国的杰出版画艺术作品。本书的许多作品均为首次出版，用以庆贺博物馆近年的收藏拓展计划，该计划旨在扩大博物馆对北欧国家当代版画和素描的收藏。许多艺术家在北欧地区以外鲜为人知，而这本新书则巩固了他们在世界舞台上的重要性。这些北欧艺术家通过视觉上引人入胜、美轮美奂的版画和素描作品，探讨了自然、环境、身份认同和遗产等基本主题。

许多作品都突出展现了该地区令人叹为观止的壮丽景色——幽暗的峡湾、茫茫无人居住的山脉和茂密的森林，与北欧视角下描绘的人口稠密、高度发达的城市空间形成了鲜明对比。二战的创伤和冷战的不确定威胁所带来的忧郁情绪和存在主义焦虑日益加剧，而这些情绪常常通过一个孤独、沉思的人物来体现。 20世纪70年代的版画作品表达了对美国外交政策和越南战争的深刻批判，但讽刺的是，它们却通过引人注目的当代图像和大胆的色彩运用，巧妙地运用了美国波普艺术的图像手法。居住在斯堪的纳维亚半岛北部和俄罗斯的土著萨米人探讨了他们在北欧世界中的自身遗产和身份认同等问题。此外，艺术家们还探讨了地域认同，从对祖国的自豪感到对其“维京”历史的隐晦暗示。本书还展出了当代北欧艺术家的作品，他们不断挑战这些国家向外界展现的“完美”斯堪的纳维亚社会世界。

The accompanying paperback catalogue to the British Museum exhibition Nordic noir: works on paper from Edvard Munch to Mamma Andersson.

With many works published for the first time, this lavishly illustrated publication celebrates the recent acquisition programme designed to expand the Museum’s holding of contemporary prints and drawings from the Nordic countries. Little-known outside the region, this new title firmly establishes the importance of these artists on the world stage. These Nordic artists examine the fundamental themes of nature, the environment, identity and heritage through visually arresting and beautiful prints and drawings.

The overwhelmingly spectacular landscape of the region features prominently in many works – dark fjords, vast uninhabited mountain ranges and heavily forested areas provide a counterpoint to depictions of densely crowded, highly developed urban spaces viewed through the Nordic lens. A growing mood of melancholy and existential angst, emerging from the trauma of the Second World War and the uncertain threat of the Cold War, is often illustrated by a lone, brooding figure. Prints from the 1970s convey a deep criticism of US foreign policy and the Vietnam War, but ironically adopt the iconography of American Pop Art by using striking contemporary imagery and bold use of colour. The Indigenous Sami people living in the northern part of Scandinavia and Russia address issues such as their own heritage and identity within the Nordic world. Regional identity is also explored from pride in the artists’ own native countries to coded references to their ‘Viking’ past. The book also features works by contemporary Nordic artists who are constantly challenging the idea of the ‘perfect’ Scandinavian social world often projected by these countries to outsiders.
