English Definition
Creative human expression. Swedish art has global influence — Carl Larsson (warm depictions of family life), Anders Zorn (master portraitist), and Bruno Liljefors (wildlife painting) are 19th-century masters. Swedish design philosophy (demokratisk design — democratic design, making beauty accessible to all) is embodied by IKEA and influences global product design. Swedish contemporary art is internationally exhibited.
Example
“Demokratisk design — konst tillgänglig för alla — är kärnan i den svenska designfilosofin.”
