Past and present - a photo on Flickriver

Past and present

            Sven X-et Erixson (1899-1970) - Archeologists and log drivers (1944). In the collection of Moderna Museet, Stockholm.

The curators provide some context: "In Archeologists and log drivers, X-et uses vibrant colours to relate a day by the Nämforsen rapids in the county of Ångermanland. The young academics are climbing the cliff banks, surrounded by the rushing water, as the log drivers balance skilfully throughout their heavy working day. Three years later, Ångermanland inaugurated its first hydraulic power station here. X-et painting is like a panorama where the past, the resent and the future meet. And in the middle of it all, X-et´s daughter Irma, holding a doll. She stands calmly on the rock, gazing at all that is happening".

Nämforsen in North Sweden was of great interest to archeologists because it is rich in petroglyphs, the oldest of which rate back to ca. 4,000 BC. It is one of the largest petroglyph areas in Europe.
