Abildgaard (1743-1809) cannot be compared with any one in Danish art rather he should be side by side with the best of European art. His passion for art, intellectural curiosity and his innovation for the avant garde helped to decide the experimentation and growth in the national art in Denmark. Abildgaard never knew his own greatness, but his pictures have time after time fascinated the living artists and writers. This book concentrates on the art of the1700s, which has often been in the shadow of the golden age, the intensive1800s.

This book thoroughly describes the life of a Swedish children’s book author and illustrator, and one of the founders of Swedish children’s literature. Born Elsa Maaretman in Stockholm, she started to draw at an early age, deciding to become an artist. An especially important person for her was her grandmother, Johanna Wilhelmina, who told her fairy tales. In her books Beskow used her own childhood experiences as a source for ideas. Her own six children also inspired her work. Central themes were the relationship between children and adults and children’s independent initiative. The pictures were large, with carefully studied details of nature and bourgeois small town life. Often Beskow combined reality with elements from the fairy tale world - ordinary children meet elves or goblins, ugly witches sulk on the street corners, and farm animals talk with people. A beautifully illustrated book on Elsa Beskow

Blixen told stories, not only in words but also in drawings and paintings. This exhibition intends to present a writer who also paints-and not the inverse. Her drawings and paintings are shown side by side with selected quotes from her entire authorship. This catalogue beautifully captures this interplay of word and image, while also presenting critical essays that illuminate various aspects of her work.
