Wilhelm Hansen’s outstanding collection of French art was created during and after World War I, and was bequeathed to the Danish state in 1952. The collection is one of the finest of its kind in all of northern Europe, and its quality is acknowledged all over the world. With this in mind, a series of exhibitions has been arranged in the course of 2002 at three of the most important American museums. The present publication is the catalogue that was drawn up for the American exhibition and is the first stage towards the publication of a proper catalogue raisonné - that is, a complete research-based publication of the French collection. Includes paintings by Ingres, Corot, Delacroix Courbet, Pisarro, Manet, Degas, Cezanne, Sisley, Monet, Morisot, Renoir, Gauguin, Matisse, Købke, Skovgaard, Lundbye, Hammershøi et al.

This beautifully illustrated exhibition catalogue traces the rise and transformatiopn of modern art in the 19th century, and the breakthrough of avant-garde abstraction in the 20th, through the perspective of French drawings. Exquisite finished drawings and working sketches - from Bonnard, Cézanne, Degas, Doré, Gauguin, Giacometti, Ingres, Maillol, Manet, Matisse, Modigliani, Picasso, Rodin, Vuillard, and dozens more - are presented here in 80 color plates and another 60 black and white photos. Most have never been shown outside of Denmark, and many are previously unpublished. The works are annotated in detail, placing them in the context of the artist’s oeuvre and his social and artistic influences, and in some cases even naming the models.

“Emigrants at Larsens Plads” by Petersen (1841-1911) is one of the most popular paintings in the Art Museum of Aarhus. It was painted in 1890 and already the following year it came to Aarhus. He has a keen eye for details, and because of the naturalistic qualities of the painting - it almost looks like a photograph - it has found its way to a large number of history books as an historical document. The essay sets out to question this use of painting by looking at his background in the aftermath of the tradition of the so-called Golden Age of Danish Painting, and goes on to take a closer look at the painter’s working method, technique, and artistic aims.

The collection of Old Master drawings from the Genoese school in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen have lived an obscure life in the collection’s Solander boxes. Few of them have ever been published and only one has been shown to the public within living momory. Although small, the collection (and consequently this catalogue) spans the entire period of the Genoese Republic, from 1528 to 1797 when it became the Republic of Ligurua, and then part of Italy (1815). The collection embraces a wide range of master drawings by the founders of the Genoese school - the famous Luca Cambiaso and his pupils Lazaro Tavarone, Bernardo Castello and Giovanni Battista Paggi. It contains rare examples of the graceful and charming drawings by Valerio Castello, and a number of fully developed compositional studies by Domenico Piola and his thriving studio. Masters like Bartolomeo Biscaino, Domenico Fiasella, Alessandro Magnasco, Francesco Castiglione, Lorenzo de Ferrari, Carlo Giuseppe Ratti and Francesco Narice are also represented.

A very comprehensive book on the life and art of Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911). A Swedish artist who studied art in Stockholm and then travelled to Paris in the fall of 1873, where he was inspired by French art, while at the same time developed his own style of painting. In 1878 Hill was diagnosed with schizophrenia; however, he continued to work until his death in 1911. During this period he created a large body of works, which continues to inspire artists and writers today.

An exhibition presenting Gallen-Kallela Museum’s current artist guest, Jaakola. He grew up in a working-class home, he preserved a natural childlike quality, laced with hatred of authority even when he had earned fame and recognition. Jaakola’s primitivism in both his art and his lifestyle was carefully considered and civilized. He shared a deep and similar love of nature, the fantastical, individuality, Finnishness-and above all art.
