Product Description
DIVP style="MARGIN: 0in -1.5in 0pt 0in; LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 9.7pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none"This comprehensive survey, published to coincide with a major exhibition, explores the work of the Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershoi (1864#8211;1916). In haunting interior scenes, Hammershoi dispensed with anecdotal detail, transforming his apartment into a series of disturbingly empty spaces. The same strange stillness can be seen in his portraits, landscapes, and city views of his native Copenhagen and of London, in all of which the passage of time appears to have been inexplicably suspended./PP style="MARGIN: 0in -1.5in 0pt 0in; LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 9.7pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none" /PP style="MARGIN: 0in -1.5in 0pt 0in; LINE-HEIGHT: 12pt; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: 9.7pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none"Expertly produced, IHammershoi/I explores the singularity of the artist#8217;s vision, placing his achievement in the context of ?n-de-siecle Symbolist art and examining his links with Dutch masters of the seventeenth century. Widely revered in Europe during his lifetime, Hammershoi is now ripe for rediscovery./P/DIV

The Danish Vermeer August 26, 2008
Claude Reich (Florianopolis, Brazil and Paris, France)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is the catalogue for the current London exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art on Hammershoi, the first ever held in Britain on the work of the "Danish Vermeer". It gives a fair idea of the mastery of light Hammershoi was able to infuse his paintings with. br / br /The text is divided into three chapters, the first following the painter's career chronologically, the second setting his art in the context of a "golden age" of Danish painting in the second half of the XIXth century, and the third (and most interesting) studying the links and differences of Hammershoi's interior paintings with XVIIth century Dutch interior paintings. br / br /On the whole, a valuable publication - if only because it is the only one available on the artist in English - but which suffers from the poor quality of the reproductions.
