Abstract
Georg Pauli belonged to a group of artists known as the Opponents, due to their opposition of the way art education, exhibitions, and allocation of grants was managed by the The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts (Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna). Their oppositional work resulted in the formation of the Arts Association (Konst¬närs¬förbundet) in 1886.

Georg Pauli belonged to a group of artists known as the Opponents, due to their opposition of the way art education, exhibitions, and allocation of grants was managed by the The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts (Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna). Their oppositional work resulted in the formation of the Arts Association (Konst¬närs¬förbundet) in 1886. In a series of books and articles, including his own journal, Flamman – tidskrift för modern konst, Pauli continued to express his criticism of art museums and the education of artists. Richard Bergh was also part of this broad movement and had similar ideas och critique. He on the other hand started to work inside the national museum for fine arts 1913 and was its director 1915–1919.
This essay focuses on the emergence of modern society between 1890 and 1930, including the public Nationalmuseum and Pauli´s commentary on the organisation of art museums, choice of art exhibitions and exposure of works to the public. This takes place within the framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of modern society, particularly non-commercial and commercial actors within the field of art production. The essay highlights difference and similarities between Georg Pauli’s and Richard Bergh’s critique as well as demands that government resources be allocated in such a way as to enable as many citizens as possible to enjoy art collections found in public buildings.
