    About this ebook

    Anders Leonard Zorn was one of Sweden’s foremost artists who obtained international success as a painter, sculptor and print-maker in etching. His incisive ability to depict the individual character of his model is famous. The model's surroundings were important; Zorn believed that a portrait should be painted in an environment that was natural for the model. An artificial studio environment was not to his taste.

    This book contains 250 high-quality annotated reproductions with details of paintings and etchings by Anders Zorn. Some people say that the "devil's in the details" and generally, they are right. Looking out for the small details in one picture is a good practice, since in most of the cases small but ultimately important details is the heart of a great author's idea. This title aims to help you see the details of Zorn's works; his secrets are not in his words, they are in his works. Look close up at his paintings and etchings, and that tell you what you cannot see but need to know and that should be enough.

      Foreword

      This book contains 250 high-quality annotated reproductions with details of paintings and etchings by Anders Zorn.

      Anders Leonard Zorn (1860 –1920) was one of Sweden’s foremost artists who obtained international success as a painter, sculptor and printmaker in etching. His incisive ability to depict the individual character of his model is famous. The model's surroundings were important; Zorn believed that a portrait should be painted in an environment that was natural for the model. An artificial studio environment was not to his taste.

      Zorn was born in Yvraden, a hamlet in the village of Utmeland in the parish of Mora, Dalarna, and was raised on his grandparents' farm in Yvraden. He studied until the age of twelve in the school at Mora Strand before progressing in the autumn of 1872 to a secondary grammar school in Enköping.

      From 1875–1880 Zorn studied at Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm, Sweden. He traveled extensively to London, Paris, the Balkans, Spain, Italy and the United States, becoming an international success as one of the most acclaimed painters of his era. While his early works were often brilliant, luminous watercolors, by 1887 he had switched firmly to oils.
