Publisher : Rizzoli Electa; Illustrated edition (October 29, 2013) Language : English Hardcover : 224 pages ISBN-10 : 0847841510 ISBN-13 : 978-0847841516 Item Weight : 3.68 pounds Dimensions : 9.36 x 1.03 x 12.31 inches Accompanying a major retrospective of Anders Zorn’s work, this is the first volume in English to explore the Swedish Impressionist’s entire career in depth. Anders Zorn (1860–1920) is one of Sweden’s most accomplished and beloved artists. Renowned for his light, expressive watercolors, he attained mastery of the genre at an early age and later applied his techniques to oil painting. Zorn is often compared with the artists John Singer Sargent and Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, contemporaries who also were known for their portraits of high-society figures. Taking up residence in London and then in Paris, Zorn established himself as an international portrait painter, depicting fashionable clients in a style both elegant and relaxed. He became a favorite among wealthy American collectors, bankers, and industrialists who sat for him, including art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner and three U.S. presidents. Although perhaps best known for his portraits, Zorn brought equal skill to painting genre scenes and views of nature. This handsome volume provides a thorough introduction to the artist and his works, from portraiture to landscapes and his famous nudes. Four illustrated essays are accompanied by a chronology, selected bibliography, an exhibition checklist, and an index. 伴随着对安德斯・佐恩作品的回顾,这是第一部深入探讨瑞典印象派画家,整个职业生涯的英文作品。安德斯 · 佐恩(1860-1920)是瑞典最有成就和最受欢迎的艺术家之一。他的水彩画以轻盈而富表现力而著称,早年已成为水墨画的代表人物,后来将其技法应用于油画创作。佐恩经常被拿来与艺术家约翰·辛格·沙金和同时代的上流社会人物肖像画家华金 · 索罗拉和巴斯蒂达相提并论。先后在伦敦和巴黎定居,佐恩成为国际肖像画家,以优雅和放松的风格,描绘时尚客户。他成为富有的美国收藏家,银行家,和实业家的最爱,谁为他坐,包括艺术品收藏家伊莎贝拉斯图尔特加德纳和三个美国总统。尽管也许最著名的是他的肖像画,但是 zorn 在绘画风俗画和自然景观方面,有着同样的技巧。这本漂亮的书对艺术家和他的作品,从肖像画到风景画和他著名的裸体作品,作了全面的介绍。四篇插图文章附有一个年表,选定的参考书目,一个展览清单,和一个索引。
