Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Christian Krohg was a key figure in the Norwegian art community of the 1880s and 1890s, and was strongly influenced by the ideology of realism. In his view, art should have meaning for a broad segment of the population, not merely serve as wall decorations for the bourgeoisie. Three types of motifs were recurrent themes for Krohg during this period: the working-class hero, scenes from family life and the fallen woman. Many people responded to his literary and visual representations of the poverty-stricken girl Albertine. He depicted members of the working class with great sympathy in paintings such as Errand Boy Drinking Coffee and Woman Cutting Bread. The Gaihede family, fishermen from Skagen in Denmark, are portrayed in many everyday situations, as are members of Krohg's own family. The catalogue sheds light on the subject matter of the exhibition, Krohg's period of study in Berlin and its impact on him, his relationship with Georg Brandes, the novel Albertine and Krohg's own use of photography as a model for his work and a medium.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Colour orgies [] slung up on the walls. This was just one of many caustic remarks aimed at Thorvald Hellesen's first and last exhibition in Norway, held in 1919. He would never again exhibit in his native country, where he was gradually forgotten. In Paris, Hellesen became part of the Cubist circle in Montparnasse. Here he got to know Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes and Fernand Leger. In around 1920, he finally achieved critical acclaim. He became a member of Section d'Or, was a frequent Salon exhibitor, and had his work reproduced in Der Sturm and De Stijl. Among the Cubists, Hellesen is one of the most interesting, declared Amedee Ozenfant. This richly illustrated and well researched catalogue illuminates the whole span of Hellesen's Cubism. His interactions with Orphism, Crystal Cubism and Mechanical Cubism are explored, together with his attempts to exploit Cubism in interior design and fashion. The book also examines Hellesen's status as an outsider in Norway and partial insider in Paris and subsequently as an overlooked pioneer of the Norwegian and Nordic avant-garde. Text in English and Norwegian. This fully illustrated and exhaustive volume presents Thorvald Hellesens interactions with Orphism, Crystal Cubism and Mechanical Cubism. Text in English and Norwegian.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Zambian-Norwegian artist, Anawana Haloba, creates multi-media installations that appeal to all the senses, including hearing and smelling. But she also challenges audiences to think. Many of her works address current discussions about Africa's colonial legacy. The publication presents a selection of works from her artistic practice. In addition, she has created a new work-her very own opera- a video installation with singing sculptures, that draws on rich traditions of folk opera in Zambia. Haloba's work invites us to listen in new ways, not just with our ears, but to history, forgotten languages, and to the stories that materials can tell. Her art reminds us to make room for what is disappearing, and to imagine new ways of being that can grow from what is left behind. Text in English and Norwegian.

Paperback. Condition: New. Erling Viksjø's buildings challenge our notions about what constitutes good architecture. His extensive use of concrete, modules and repetitive shapes has caused many to describe him as Norway's foremost Brutalist architect. Viksjø also went furthest in collaborating with visual artists. Concrete in Transition examines the encounter between art and architecture in Viksjø's projects. How could one attain a unified design where art was no longer an addition to, or in competition with, the architecture? This publication discusses Viksjø's collaborations with well-established artists such as Hannah Ryggen and Kai Fjell, and young Modernists including Odd Tandberg, Carl Nesjar and Inger Sitter. In addition, it discusses the projects in which he collaborated with Pablo Picasso.Text in English and Norwegian.…
