HAMMERSHØI VILHELM VILHELM HAMMERSHØI SILENCE

Masterpieces by the Danish symbolist Vilhelm Hammershøi  whose interiors and portraits enjoy
international renown today. Painted simply and in muted colours  they have fascinated viewers
ever since the painter's rediscovery in the 1990s.  Most of Vilhelm Hammershøi's paintings
depict rooms inside the various Copenhagen apartments he inhabited. With sunlight pouring
through windows or open doors  Hammershøi composes solemn interiors worked in tones of blue 
white  and gray. Silence permeates these genre paintings without a narrative  characterized by
their powerful stillness and reduced colour palette. He has been called the "painter of
solitude and light? and has been the focus of international exhibitions ever since his
re-discovery in the 1990s. This focused presentation brings together a selection of
masterpieces by the artist dated between 1901 and 1914.
