Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Text in English. 310 pp. Edge wear on the dust jacket, minor tearing. Published in conjunction with the exhibition held at the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 25 Sep 2002-19 Jan 2003; and Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, 21 Feb-25 May 2003. At the beginning of the 20th century remarkably large collections of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art were assembled in Scandinavia. Museums, as well as private collectors, assembled collections comprising important works by painters such as Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh, and Paul Cézanne. The collections were assembled at a time when works by these artists had become widely desirable as collector's items, coinciding with a period of cconomic prosperity in the Nordie countrics. The good economy made it possible to build extensive art collections in a short amount of time. This book describes how interest in Impressionism and Post-Impressionism developed in Scandinavia from the early 1870s until the first three decades of the 20th century when the great collections were assembled. Special consideration is given to contacts between French artists and Scandinavian art circles. Paul Gauguin's stay in Denmark in the mid-1880s is discussed in a separate essay, as is Claude Monet's journey to Norway in 1895. Special attention is devoted to the impact of the new French painting on Scandinavian art. Artists such as Edvard Munch, Theodor Philipsen, Anders Zorn, and Akseli Gallen Kallela were, in different ways, influenced by contemporary French painting, and transformed these influences into a new painting on Nordic soil: The book is written by several specialists on Scandinavian art and published in connection with an exhibition held at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
