Accompanying a major retrospective of Anders Zorn's work, this is
the first volume in English to explore the Swedish Impressionist's
entire career in depth. Anders Zorn (1860-1920) is one of Sweden's
most accomplished and beloved artists. Renowned for his light,
expressive watercolors, he attained mastery of the genre at an
early age and later applied his techniques to oil painting. Zorn is
often compared with the artists John Singer Sargent and Joaquin
Sorolla y Bastida, contemporaries who also were known for their
portraits of high-society figures. Taking up residence in London
and then in Paris, Zorn established himself as an international
portrait painter, depicting fashionable clients in a style both
elegant and relaxed. He became a favorite among wealthy American
collectors, bankers, and industrialists who sat for him, including
art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner and three U.S. presidents.
Although perhaps best known for his portraits, Zorn brought equal
skill to painting genre scenes and views of nature. This handsome
volume provides a thorough introduction to the artist and his
works, from portraiture to landscapes and his famous nudes. Four
illustrated essays are accompanied by a chronology, selected
bibliography, an exhibition checklist, and an index.
