Summary
The archive by photographer Erling Syringen (b. 26.01.1907 - d. 01. 11. 1983) includes glass plate negatives, film negatives and paper prints and came to the Glomdals Museum in the early 1980s. The photo archive depicts a photographer with a high level of activity and a broad sphere of interest. Erling Syringen's camera lenses captured most of the events of small and large scale in Elverum. The photo archive of Erling Syringen represents the most comprehensive photographic documentation we have of Elverum in the period from approx. 1930 to ca. 1970. Large parts of the archive have been digitized, but work is still ongoing.
The Bauhaus was influenced by 19th and early-20th-century artistic directions such as the Arts and Crafts movement, as well as Art Nouveau and its many international incarnations, including the Jugendstil and Vienna Secession. In the Weimar Republic, a renewed liberal spirit allowed an upsurge of radical experimentation in all the arts. The most important influence on Bauhaus was modernism, a movement whose origins lay as early as the 1880s. After World War Germans of left-wing views were influenced by the cultural experimentation that followed the Russian Revolution, such as constructivism. The Bauhaus style, however, also known as the International Style, was marked by harmony between the function of an object or a building and its design. Bauhaus is characterized by simplified forms, rationality, and functionality, and the idea that mass production was reconcilable with the individual artistic spirit.
