ANDERS ZORN - JOHAN CEDERLUND HANS HENDRIK BRUM...

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 Joaquín
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.
