Riassunto

A comprehensive study of the great Danish painter, this monograph places Hammershøi within the context of his European contemporaries. This generously illustrated volume examines Hammershøi's work as a whole and in relation to the artists of his generation. Hammershøi's enigmatic paintings, with their rich and muted palettes, have always enjoyed enormous popularity in Scandinavia, and recently his work has received renewed attention across the globe. Thematically arranged, this volume includes beautiful reproductions and essays that focus on London and Germany; and comparisons between him and such notable painters as Seurat, Gauguin, and Whistler. Fans of this remarkable painter, and anyone interested in modern art, will enjoy this celebration of Hammershøi as a part of the pantheon of great European painters.

Recensione:

With the current fashion for all things Nordic, it is worth investigating this Danish artist's work. His paintings usually depict light-filled interiors, and the very surface of his beautiful canvases is infused with an air of restraint and melancholy. --Venue, April 2012
