More information

Denna kartong visar en karikatyr av författaren Gustaf af Geijerstam och skulptrisen Karin Arosensius. Den senare var en svensk skulptris som var den första kvinna att få inträde i bildhuggarklassen vid Konstakademin och ställde ut vid Salongen under ett flertal år under 1880-talet. Hon var i Grez just 1884 och återkom till platsen igen något senare under 1890-talet. Gustaf af Geijerstam var en författare som vid tiden för kartongens utförande skrev i realistisk anda inspirerad av Strindberg och Ibsen och befann sig 1884 i Gréz. I samtida kommentarer påpekas det ofta att af Geijerstam hade stor aptit vilket Carl Larsson kommenterat genom den trinda formen på författaren. Karin Arosenius var under en kort period föremål för Carl Larssons känslor vilket han beskrivit i sin självbiografiska bok "Jag".

More about Carl Larsson

Carl Larsson is considered one of the greatest Swedish artists of all time. He was born in Gamla Stan in Stockholm and studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in the years 1866-76. After his studies in Stockholm, he traveled to France and settled in Grèz-sur-Loing. There he mainly painted garden motifs. In France, he met his future wife Karin Bergöö, who was also an artist and came to mean a lot for his artistry. Already during his student years, he made a living as a photo retoucher and cartoonist in the press. It was also during his studies that Larsson got to know Anders Zorn and Bruno Liljefors, together the three are usually called the ABC artists. At the end of the 1880s, Carl and Karin were given "Lilla Hyttnäs" in Sundborn outside Falun by Karin's father, and this is where Larsson's most famous watercolors depicting his family were created. The motifs often depict sunny landscapes with children, crayfish fishing, meals in the green and interior scenes. Larsson is represented, among other, in the National Museum, where "Gustav Vasas intåg i Stockholm" and "Midvinterblot" fills the stairwell. Represented mainly at the National Museum in Stockholm and at the Gothenburg Art Museum.
