LPPM MMV "On the Wall"

[Dave Monroe]

"A Klee original was on the wall facing them; two
crossed BAR's, hunting rifles and a few sabres hung
around the other walls. The room was sparsely
furnished in Swedish modern and carpeted wall to
wall." (MMV, p. 6)


Klee

A Swiss-born painter and graphic artist whose
personal, often gently humorous works are replete with
allusions to dreams, music, and poetry, Paul Klee, b.
Dec. 18, 1879, d. June 29, 1940, is difficult to
classify....

"two crossed BAR's"

The initial M1918A1 version of the Browning Automatic
Rifle (BAR) was first used in combat by American
soldiers during World War I, and many saw service in
World War II. The BAR received high praise for its
reliability under adverse conditions. 

In 1940, the model M1918A2 was adopted....

[...]

The BAR was a popular weapon in WWII and Korea,
because it was very reliable and offered an excellent
combination of rapid fire and penetrating power....

The Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) was designed in
1917 by the weapons designer John Browning as a
replacement for the French-made Chauchat Light Machine
Gun, which was plagued by design flaws that made the
weapon ineffective.

"Swedish modern"

Scandinavian modern (c.1930s to present)

Also know as Swedish modern, this style emerged at the
same time as modernism in the 1930s. It was
interrupted by the Depression and World War II, and
then finally reached its height in the 1950s.
