History: Pictorialism as practiced in photography club competitions and exhibitions promoted a romantic national pride during the Second World War in neutral Sweden. Post-war, the country's young photographers reacted against the painterly pretensions of such practitioners whom they derisively nicknamed 'Rosenlunderiet' after an old peoples' home in Stockholm. In 1949 some of the young photographers, dubbed "De Unga" (The Young), who were to form Tio fotografer participated in an exhibition organised by editor of FOTO magazine Lars Wickman. It was an open provocation of the conservative photographic establishment. The majority of the exhibitors returned to their specialities in fashion, journalism, nature photography, and so on, while the second-youngest, Rune Hassner, took up the cause of the young radicals, writing polemics in the trade journals. In 1949 Stockholm's 'Young Photographers' Rune Hassner, Tore Johnsson, Sven Gillsater, Hans Hammarskiold and others saw themselves developing a new 'international language of photography.' They were amongst many Scandinavian photographers of the post-war period to seek opportunities elsewhere in Europe. Tore Johnsson and Rune Hassner, went to Paris. When New York replaced Paris as the desirable destination for upcoming photographers in the 1960s Lennart Nilsson began there, before turning to scientific photography. Over the next decade members met occasionally and informally, in London, Cuba, New York or Hong Kong, and the idea of a photographic cooperative developed. At a reunion on 10 October 1958 in Stockholm the ten photographers, who in the meantime had traveled and developed their careers, founded the collective Tio fotografer ('Ten photographers'). Ten years after their initial exhibition, the group formed their agency Tiofoto. The co-operative shared office, studio, and darkroom facilities in Stockholm, but otherwise remained independent in style and approach.
