This is my first post on this blog: ‘Skönhet för Alla’.
The phrase ‘Skönhet för alla’ is one of my favourite Swedish words, and means ‘Beauty for all’ in English. This is the title of an essay (Uppsala, 1899) written by Ellen Key, a Swedish feminist and educator who was active in the late 19th century.
The above picture is the front page of her essay. Its design was by a Swedish artist, Carl Larsson.
Why did I choose this title for my blog title? It is quite simple. What she mentioned in her essay inspired me: her essay is based on my study about Swedish design history.
So I will post articles on design, art, culture on this blog. I will also post on travelling that I really love.
