"Paletten is Sweden's oldest and longest-running art magazine, now in its eighth decade of continuous production. It is published quarterly … Initially Paletten concerned itself primarily with local issues but, over time, broadened its scope to feature national and international art …
Paletten is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, where it was founded in 1940. For many years it was published by the Gothenburg Artists Club. Among the first members of its editorial staff were painters Nils Nilsson and Ragnar Sandberg of the Göteborgskoloristerna group as well as Hjalmar Eldh and C.T. Holmström. The magazine's first editor-in-chief was Gunnar Wallin. In addition to its primary focus on art, Paletten has also published poems and essays by leading Swedish authors including Erik Blomberg, Karin Boye, Gunnar Ekelöf, and Nobel Prize laureate Harry Martinson. Editors of Paletten have included Torsten Bergmark, Rabbe Enckell, Folke Edwards, Leif Nylén, Gertrud Gustavsson (Sandqvist),
Hans Johansson, and Isabella Nilsson …"
