Grindslanten fra 1885 av August Malmstrøm, 42 x 32 cm med glass og ramme. Trykk på lerret.
Grindslanten er et kjent maleri av Malmström. Motivet er av flere barn som sloss om en mynt som har blitt kastet til dem for å åpne grinden for en forbipasserende vogn.
August Malmström (1829–1901) var en svensk maler som var mye utenlands, blant annet i Düsseldorf der han ble påvirket av Düsseldorfskolen. Da han kom til Düsseldorf i 1857 ble han kjent med vår egen Hans Gude som var ved Kunstakademie Düsseldorf på den tiden. Akademiet hadde eksistert siden 1773 i som kurfyrstelig-pfalzisk akademi for maler-, billedhugger- og bygningskunst. De neste fem årene tilbrakte han i Paris. Fra 1867 til 1894 var han professor ved Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna som var blitt anlagt etter europeisk mønster i 1735, bare to år efter nevnte Kunstakademie Düsseldorf i Düsseldorf. I Norge er han kjent for blant annet Vikinger på stranden som han lagde på en kort visitt til Düsseldorf sammen med Hans Gude. Videre illustrerte han for Asbjørnsen og Moe.
Malmström bodde i Paris i 1858–1863, blant annet som elev av Thomas Couture. Han malte der 1860–1862 under inntrykk av Delacroix det veldige, ufullendte Bråvallaslaget. Stor popularitet vant hans romantiske Alvelek (1866) og hans barneskildringer. Han illustrerte blant annet Frithiofs saga (1876 og 1888), Fänrik Ståls sägner (1883) og Asbjørnsen og Moes eventyr. I 1867–1894 var han professor ved akademiet i Stockholm, og i 1887–1893 dets direktør.
Johan August Malmström (14 October 1829 – 18 October 1901) was a Swedish painter. As an artist, he was known for his country motifs often featuring children. His most widely recognized work is Grindslanten (1885) featuring a typical scene from 19th-century Sweden. Influenced by the national romanticism of Gothicismus, he also collected motives from Norse mythology. He made illustrations for publications of both Frithiofs saga(Friðþjófs saga hins frœkna) and The Tales of Ensign Stål (Fänrik Ståls sägner).
Malmström was professor and later manager at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. Malmström also worked as an illustrator for several newspapers and book publishers. Additionally, Malmström designed furniture, worked as a pattern drawer and was a designer for Gustavsberg porcelain.
Malmström was born at Nubbekullen in Västra Ny parish within the municipality of Motala in Östergötland County, Sweden. Nubbekullen (Nubbekullens hembygdsgård) is today the site of a local museum.
His father, Anders Gustaf Malmström, was a carpenter and ornamental sculptor who managed the small farm. August, together with his brother, helped his father with agriculture and woodwork. Among other works they made ornaments for altarpieces and pulpits to churches. Both parents encouraged August in his choice of life. His mother, Brita Stina Håkansdotter, was interested in literature, which evoked his interest in history. He showed early interest in drawing and painting. An injury in his right hand which never cured properly exempted him from hard work and gave him even more time to spend on arts. In his teens he was skilled enough to support his family, he made small paintings and coloured pictures which were given away as presents on birthdays and name days. His parents recognized his talent and sold their only ox to finance his studies in Stockholm.
Malmström came to Stockholm and applied for admission at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. It was first with the help of the painter Nils Andersson (1817-1865) that he managed to be accepted and thus on 3 November 1849 he was registered at the academy's ground school. Already at the beginning his talent attracted attention and his study period was marked by rewards of all sorts. The academy had painting contests every year with given themes and Malmström was probably the most diligent participant.[4]
For the 1855 contest, he was the only student to submit a contribution with Konung Gustaf II Adolfs lifsfara i träffningen vid Wittsjö ("King Gustaf II Adolf in mortal danger at the battle of Wittsjö"). However, his work was "not in a good condition to be rewarded". A growing problem the academy faced was that more and more students left the academy for studies in Düsseldorf, a trend Malmström followed in 1856. He considered the academy's education as insufficient and at the same time his economic situation became gradually better. Besides scholarships and picture sales, he earned incomes from portrait orders and restoration tasks.
Düsseldorf 1856–1857
Malmström is associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. There exists no proofs that he took part in any education in the city. He presumably pursued studies on his own. During autumn 1856, he send home his first painting King Heimer and Aslög from Düsseldorf and during spring 1857 he then send home King Aella's messenger before Ragnar Lodbrok's sons. Both of these works impressed the Swedish Academy. During their exhibition, the painting King Heimer and Aslög was rewarded with the Royal Medal. This allowed the Academy to give Malmström a travel scholarship, on 2 October. The grant and several painting sales meant that he was financially secure for many years forward.[6]
Paris 1857–1859
In 1857, Malmström traveled together with Mårten Eskil Winge (1825–1896) to Paris. Winge was a good friend of Malmström and also had received a travel scholarship. Besides diligent studies at the museums, they were students of Thomas Couture (1815–1879) who had a solid reputation as a skillful teacher who taught a number of Swedish students. In 1856, Couture became an honorable member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. Malmström returned 1858 to Düsseldorf to complete Vikingar på stranden ("Vikings at shore") together with the Norwegian painter Hans Fredrik Gude (1825–1903) but soon traveled back to Paris. Regulations for travel scholarships prescribed that a copy of a work by a great master should be made. The choice fell on Titian's painting Christ Crowned with Thorns, this because other works by Titian were already and constantly occupied by others, in some cases for many years.
According to the instructions for both holders of the travel scholarship, the Academy stated that after a year of residence in Paris they should travel to Italy. After two years in Paris, Winge and Malmström went to Italy at the end of 1859. Much to his indignation, Malmström got a rejection to his application to copy Rafael's works at the Vatican. Instead he made copies of Rafael's and Titian's works in Palazzo Borghese. Malmström returned to Paris in 1860. In the summer of 1863, Malmström left Paris for a new visit to Italy to study.
His artistic breakthrough came in January 1864 after his return to Sweden. In 1866, he exhibited five works at the General Industrial Exposition of Stockholm (1866)(Stockholmsutställningen 1866). He was appointed an apprentice (agré) at the Royal Swedish Academy of Art in Stockholm. Subsequently, he was appointed professor of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1867 where he taught until 1894. He also served as manager there from 1887 to 1893. He died in 1901, and was buried in the cemetery at Solna Church (Solna kyrkogård) near Stockholm.
He bequeathed some 650 watercolours, drawings and 26 sketchbooks to the Nordic Museum on Djurgården.
Grindslanten är en oljemålning av den svenske konstnären August Malmström. Motivet är ett antal barn som slåss om en slant som blivit tillkastad dem som tack för att de öppnat grinden för en förbipasserande vagn.
Grindslanten föreställer sex barn vid en öppen grind på en landsväg. Fyra av dem ligger på marken och slåss om ett mynt som verkar ha kastats ut från den vagn som försvinner bort i fjärran. Barnen kan delas in i fyra grupper: framför grindhålet ligger tre pojkar på landsvägen, barfota, barhuvade och klädda i kortbyxor. Till vänster om dem finns en annan pojke, klädd i skor och långbyxor och med keps på huvudet som har lyckats hålla sig uppe och är på väg att lägga beslag på myntet. Bredvid denne pojke ligger en uppslagen bok. De tre pojkarnas minspel visar att de inser att de är på väg att förlora.
Till höger om de tre pojkarna står en ensam pojke som med ett leende och händerna på ryggen betraktar slagsmålet. Till höger om honom sitter en flicka på marken och gråter, kanske över den korg med utspillda röda bär, som ligger bredvid henne.
Målningar med barn vid en grind var ett vanligt motiv under 1800-talet. Den brittiske konstnären William Collins målning Rustic Civility visar några barn som öppnar en grind på landsvägen för en ryttare. Kilian Zolls målning Torparbarnen visar en grupp barn vid en grind medan en hästdragen vagn passerar.
En målning som Malmström säkerligen var bekant med var Gustav Brandelius Barn vid en grind som 1866 visades vid Konstakademiens utställning. Precis som i Grindslanten förekommer i tavlan en pojke som står mitt på vägen med händerna på ryggen och en mössa på huvudet.
Tavlan målades i Rotebro, där Malmström bodde på somrarna. Det är möjligt att Malmström med hjälp av barn i Rotebro arrangerat motivet vid något lämpligt ställe. Det har ibland hävdats att stugan i bakgrunden är den nu nedbrunna Rotebro gästgivaregård där Malmström bodde,[2] men så är inte fallet och det är troligare att Malmström målade ur minnet från sitt barndoms Östergötland.
Bevarade skisser visar att Malmström gjort ett noggrant förberedelsearbete. På Östergötlands länsmuseum finns en så kallad kompositionsskiss där Malmström målat de viktigaste delarna i motivet utan att göra detaljer i målningen, till exempel ansikten. Några uppenbara skillnader finns mellan denna skiss och den färdiga tavlan, bland annat saknas det träd som står vid staketet, den stående pojken skymmer delvis landsvägen och flickans korg med smultron finns inte med.
