The grande dame of Norwegian Painting – teacher of Nikolai Astrup
and Harald Sohlberg. Harriet Backer (1845–1932) was one of
Norway’s most prominent painters of the 19th century and a
pioneer among women artists in Europe. In 1880, she debuted in the
Paris Salon and lived in Munich and Paris. Back in Oslo, she
established a successful school for painters. This catalogue
presents Backer to an international audience, thus giving her back
the place she deserves in art history. Harriet Backer’s richly
coloured interior scenes, sensitive portrayals of simple rural
life, her portraits and still lifes are characterised by plein-air
painting, realism and Impressionism. Her works stand out, not only
in Norway, but also in the European context, when it comes to
originality, scope and quality. The publication highlights her
artistic achievements and places her oeuvre in the European
context.
