“Yet Another Morning – Drawing in the Moderna Museet Collection” invites us to think about what drawing is and can be. Drawings and illustrations with different themes and techniques are exhibited here together with sculpture, moving images and photographic art. Ninety percent of the material has never before been presented by the museum.
Discover how artists observe and draw their surroundings, themselves and their everyday lives, but also how they express what cannot be seen or depicted, such as emotions, thoughts and social criticism.
Most artists draw and sketch. It is a timeless and often immediate way of expressing yourself. Drawing also has the ability to move freely across cultural and language barriers since almost anyone can achieve something with a pen and paper. – Annika Gunnarsson, Curator

Lines, shadows and figures
Common to all works in “Yet Another Morning” is the core of drawing – the work with lines, shadows, contours, surfaces and contrasts between blackness and light:
A few strokes capture an entire story, as in works by Jean Fautrier, Amadeo Modigliani and Alexander Rodchenko and many others. The painstaking work with thousands of thin marks from the tip of the pen can be seen, for example, in works by Ann Böttcher, Gunnel Wåhlstrand and Johanna Karlsson.
Others observe themselves, such as Egon Schiele, Helene Schjerfbeck and Bjarne Melgaard, as well as Alberto Giacometti when he lifts his own shadow from the ground into an upright elongated figure. The joy of colour is found in works by Jane Bark, Peter Köhler and Nellie Mae Row, among others.
DRAWING IN THE MODERNA MUSEET COLLECTION
Moderna Museet’s collection of drawings consists of around 12,000 works and is Sweden’s largest collection of modern and contemporary drawings. The collection contains a large and representative collection of 20th-century drawings.
“Yet Another Morning” is Moderna Museet’s first exhibition focusing on drawings since the museum took over the responsibility for modern and contemporary drawings and graphics from Nationalmuseum in 1998.
