Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Christian Krohg was a key figure in the Norwegian art community of the 1880s and 1890s, and was strongly influenced by the ideology of realism. In his view, art should have meaning for a broad segment of the population, not merely serve as wall decorations for the bourgeoisie. Three types of motifs were recurrent themes for Krohg during this period: the working-class hero, scenes from family life and the fallen woman. Many people responded to his literary and visual representations of the poverty-stricken girl Albertine. He depicted members of the working class with great sympathy in paintings such as Errand Boy Drinking Coffee and Woman Cutting Bread. The Gaihede family, fishermen from Skagen in Denmark, are portrayed in many everyday situations, as are members of Krohg's own family. The catalogue sheds light on the subject matter of the exhibition, Krohg's period of study in Berlin and its impact on him, his relationship with Georg Brandes, the novel Albertine and Krohg's own use of photography as a model for his work and a medium.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Colour orgies [] slung up on the walls. This was just one of many caustic remarks aimed at Thorvald Hellesen's first and last exhibition in Norway, held in 1919. He would never again exhibit in his native country, where he was gradually forgotten. In Paris, Hellesen became part of the Cubist circle in Montparnasse. Here he got to know Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes and Fernand Leger. In around 1920, he finally achieved critical acclaim. He became a member of Section d'Or, was a frequent Salon exhibitor, and had his work reproduced in Der Sturm and De Stijl. Among the Cubists, Hellesen is one of the most interesting, declared Amedee Ozenfant. This richly illustrated and well researched catalogue illuminates the whole span of Hellesen's Cubism. His interactions with Orphism, Crystal Cubism and Mechanical Cubism are explored, together with his attempts to exploit Cubism in interior design and fashion. The book also examines Hellesen's status as an outsider in Norway and partial insider in Paris and subsequently as an overlooked pioneer of the Norwegian and Nordic avant-garde. Text in English and Norwegian. This fully illustrated and exhaustive volume presents Thorvald Hellesens interactions with Orphism, Crystal Cubism and Mechanical Cubism. Text in English and Norwegian.

Hardback. Etat : New. After studying art for many years under highly respected teachers, Asta Nørregaard (1853-1933) became an established artist. She exhibited at the Paris Salon and carried out numerous portrait commissions for prominent figures from the upper class of Norwegian society, and from the fields of science and culture. She also ran her own painting school and established endowments for female artists and musicians. Even though Nørregaard is primarily known for her portraits, she also painted landscapes, interiors, and religious scenes. For many years, Nørregaard was overshadowed by more famous contemporaries, but recently she has gained recognition as a substantial force in Norwegian art history.This book brings together the breadth of Nørregaard's artistic practice. It presents portraits of leading cultural and scientific figures of her time, studies of dress and fashion, and a museum-based detective story in which the question of who is portrayed takes centre stage. Taken together, the texts offer an understanding of Nørregaard, not only as a portrait painter, but as an active participant in the art world and as an artist who challenged the boundaries of what women could be in her time.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. How does an artist work? How do ideas, emotions, and transcendental daydreams make their way from the mind to a physical format? This book includes previously published and newly written texts about A K Dolven's oeuvre. The texts vary greatly in form and content.

Other important themes addressed are concepts such as time and space, and how they have influenced Dolven's art. In addition to presenting all of the retrospective's featured works from the exhibition amazone at the National Museum of Oslo, the book is also richly illustrated with photographs and other materials culled from Dolven's archive, providing unique insight into her artistic processes and documenting her decades-long career.
