Carl Larsson - A Swedish Fairytale
Spanning the Christmas period the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung
will be exhibiting the work of Carl Larsson, the great Swedish artist. Born
in 1853, Larsson ranks as one of Sweden’s most popular artists, and is
among those Swedish artists who became renowned internationally. He
came from a poor family and earned his living as an illustrator and retoucher
before going to study in Paris in 1876. There he met Karin Berg, who he
married and with whom he had eight children. This represents a turning
point in his life. They returned to Sweden together to live in a house near
Sundborn. From then on, family and domestic life became a central theme
in his art work.
The exhibition at the Kunsthalle in Munich will encompass all the
various aspects of his work. Not only numerous watercolours, oil paintings
and drawings but also furniture, fabrics and craft objects from
Carl Larsson’s home in Sundborn will be on show.
