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.
