Excerpt from Sweden Through the Artist's Eye So sings a poet who has entered deeply into Swedish nature and Swedish life. 'Sweden, our mother!" We love our mother, but we do not find it easy to dilate on her merits to any passing stranger. We know full well that there are other mothers, more beautiful, mightier, wiser than ours. We do not claim from others anything beyond respect for our mother, but we ourselves know what treasures we have received from her. Great painters have often been strikingly successful in painting or drawing their mothers. Love and reverence have guided their hands, and given birth to creations of immortal beauty. Think of Durer's drawing, of Rembrandt's, Whistlers and Carl Larsson's paintings of their mothers. The pent-up springs gush forth, loosened by love's warmth, and, as Durer has it, 'the secret treasure of the heart is made manifest in the work." And thus it is when the artist paints the land which gave him birth. He discovers and points out beauties and grandeurs which no other eye has discerned, and thus deepens and enriches the feelings of his countrymen towards their common fatherland.
