What I found immediately impressive about the Skissernas was the barrage of art you walk into in the first room. Barely any wall space is blank (even the ceilings have paintings attached to them), which makes a nice change from your white, postmodern container, I love the claustrophobia of Salon hangs - it's fun to have so many different planes of colour and shapes in front of you to make sense of, with the Modernist works shown in this first room lending their vibrant selves very well to the format. The gallery has a particular focus on 'the birth of art,' so clustered around each works are element's from it's creative process - articles, sketches, commissions etc. The collection is at times random, but this is maybe what I enjoyed best about it, it was like wandering through a hoarder's non-order. Enjoy the colour!
