Over the years, art historians have presented magnificent books about the medieval church paintings in Sweden, in Mälardalen and Västergötland, in Småland and on Gotland, in Östergötland and elsewhere. The people, environments and symbols depicted have captured the attention of visitors for centuries. The medieval painters have left permanent marks on walls, ceilings and arches.
In Medieval Pigments, the reader may encounter these paintings, but under different signs. How have they been made? What does the colour consist of? What pigments were used? Anders G. Nord tells what the history of pigments reveals. Through many examples, the viewer will understand how the colour once appeared and what time has changed. What significance the church’s location had, when and how the church came into being, what pigments were then available. These are basic facts, but previously rarely or never addressed.
Nord describes how the paintings were built up, which dyes were used and where the pigments came from.
Anders G. Nord is an associate professor of chemistry and has for a large part of his professional life worked in cultural conservation, including at the Swedish Museum of Natural History and the National Heritage Board.

Dedicated to color ”Ett konkret och genomarbetat tävlingsbidrag, som med hjälp av färgkorrigering visar hur det går att förändra en byggnads status med färg.Hen har inspirerats av en kritiserad byggnad som fördömts att rivas pågrund av dess färgsättning. De nya färgkombinationerna framhäver byggnadens unika karaktär och bibehåller dess beständighet. Detta projekt visar hur viktig en färgsättning är för arkitekturen i en tid då vi behöver återvinna och tillvarata. Inte riva och bygga nytt.”
A concrete and elaborate competition entry, which with the help of colour correction shows how it is possible to change the status of a building with colour. Hen has been inspired by a criticized building that has been condemned to be demolished due to its colour scheme. The new colour combinations emphasize the building’s unique character and maintain its durability. This project shows how important a colour scheme is for architecture at a time when we need to recycle and take care of the existing . Not demolish and build new.
On January 5th the Gruppo del Colore – Associazione Italiana Colore in agreement with the AIC has decided to organize the AIC 14th Congress online. The registration fee for the 5 days of the Congress has consequently been reduced.
