Zorn, Anders Zorn, Anders

Swedish painter and graphic artist. Zorn studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm (1875-1881), then traveled to Spain, England, was in Paris and in 1896 settled in his hometown of Moore. Until 1888 he worked almost exclusively in watercolor technique, following the English fashion, and executed portraits, landscapes and genre scenes. Particularly interesting are his virtuosic compositions depicting moving water (<On the Bosporus>, 1886, Moore, Museum Zorn; <Splash>, 1887, Copenhagen, Gos. Art Mu-bonds). In 1888-1896 he lived in Paris, where he paints in oils. In broad strokes of an artist sculpts smooth rough, but very plastic forms. Genre scenes and portraits of different brightness and grasped his position, why disappears every convention (<Night Effect>, 1895, Gothenburg, Art Museum, <Portrait COQUELLES Younger>, 1889, private collection). Nudity curvy shape against the background of typical landscapes and was appreciated by his contemporaries (<Ute>, 1888, Malmö, museum). After returning to Moore, the artist works in a decorative manner, full of colorful contrasts: he depicts the various Valais and folk scene (<Dance in St-Jean>, 1897, Stockholm, Nat. Museum) and scenes from domestic life and landscapes with nude figures, portraits, in which the brilliance of execution often conceals a certain weakness in design. Also, Zorn has revived the Swedish engraving, about 1882 he created the technique, in which dense hatching passes contrasting effects. His role model was a Rembrandt, graphic works that he collected, the expressive power of portraits of Zorn's hidden in their variability (<Portrait Renan> 1892 <Portrait of a collector Marcano>, 1893, <Portrait of Charles Larson>, 1897, <Portrait of Rodin> 1907). His collection and his own works Zorn bequeathed Moore's hometown, where he opened his museum. The artist's paintings are also represented in the Museum d'Orsay in Paris (<Portrait of Berdli>, 1906; <Nude farmer>).

Judge will not undertake, was not acquainted.
But I know that just at the time of writing this portrait, Mamontov, chairman of the Society transformed the Moscow-Yaroslavl-Arkhangelsk Railway (from 1894), where just something he was the main shareholder.
It is seen that Zorn gave some anxiety in the eyes of Savva Ivanovich.

In late 1890 - early 1900-ies creativity Zorn appreciates many Russian artists. So, January 26, 1897 on Zorn's celebration in St. Petersburg, to which "special" came from Moscow Korovin and Serov, Repin called it "the first artist-virtuoso Europe. According to Golovin, "Zorn at one time very fascinated Korovin swinging and free manner of writing - this has affected some of the works of Konstantin. The charge of "tsornizme", that is, in imitation Zorn, also addressed the friend and Korovin - Serov.

Konstantin Korovin remembers ...
soon came to me from Paris my friend the artist Zorn and stopped me. Polenov I met with Zorn. While Zorn was in glory. We went to dinner together to Mamontov. When dinner served soup from Sturgeon - a large piece of fish lying on the plate, in the transparent ear, Zorn looked and did not eat. He was frightened, turned pale and asked Polenova, who sat next to him:
- What, not a snake it?
As we neither spoke to him, that this fish - Zorn had not eaten.
Here at the table sat a huge growth in an Italian tenor Taman. He heard about the snake, and too scared and said:
- Ostia! It is impossible ...
As we are not persuaded, they took everything spoon piece Sturgeon, showed - "So you see, and put in your mouth fish, nor Zorn, nor Taman could not eat.

When Mamontov, saw the finished portrait, he drew attention to Zorn, that there is no buttons on his jacket . "He replied:" I - a painter, a tailor sew on buttons let !"-

It is impossible not to mention the graphics in the creation of Zorn's heritage, particularly on his etchings, in which he achieved a genuine virtuosity. http://www.zorngallery.se/webbgalleri_med_foto.htm
