Ewald Dahlskog for Bo Fajans (Bobergs Fajansfabrik AB)
Jug from the “Topas” series, ca. 1930s

Dahlskog is a key representative of the New Objectivity movement in Scandinavia, which emerged in the 1920s, primarily in German-speaking countries. This movement opposed the emotional intensity of Expressionism and the rejection of reality found in Abstraction. Instead, it emphasized realistic representation and a clear, objective approach to art, drawing connections to early Renaissance art, Classicism, Romanticism, and Biedermeier styles.
