THE (THEODOR) SVEDBERG
SCIENTIST
The Svedberg received the Noble Prize for Chemistry in 1927. Svedberg had a wide interest in culture and literature. One of his many activities in this field was a rich correspondence with August Strindberg.
Being an amateur painter of high level, his guest appearance as a textile designer was a one off event inspired by the need of a fabric drop at his own workplace.
The Svedberg contributed in this exhibition with two designs, “Genetics” and “Atomics”. Atomics is a playful combination of images from the atomic world creating a decorative pattern. Here printed on 100% linen.
