Synopsis
This comprehensive survey is published to coincide with an exhibition of the art of the Danish painter Vilhelm HammershACi (1864-1916). "HammershACi's" subject-matter centred on haunting interiors. Dispensing with anecdotal detail, he transformed his apartment into a series of disturbingly empty spaces. The same strange stillness can be seen in his portraits, landscapes and city views of his native Copenhagen and of London, in all of which the passage of time appears to have been inexplicably suspended. The book is beautifully illustrated with works that span all stages of HammershACi's career, while the essays explore the singularity of his vision, placing his achievement in the context of fin-de-sicle Symbolist art and examining his links with Dutch masters of the seventeenth century.

The Danish Vermeer
26. August 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is the catalogue for the current London exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art on Hammershoi, the first ever held in Britain on the work of the "Danish Vermeer". It gives a fair idea of the mastery of light Hammershoi was able to infuse his paintings with.
The text is divided into three chapters, the first following the painter's career chronologically, the second setting his art in the context of a "golden age" of Danish painting in the second half of the XIXth century, and the third (and most interesting) studying the links and differences of Hammershoi's interior paintings with XVIIth century Dutch interior paintings.
On the whole, a valuable publication - if only because it is the only one available on the artist in English - but which suffers from the poor quality of the reproductions.

The Joy of Discovery
26. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I wonder how many art collectors and even scholars have had the pleasure of encountering the work of Vilhelm Hammershøi.......This Danish painter (1864 - 1916) discovered his own form of impressionism and figure painting out of the main stream of world renowned painters. Yes, people who know Scandanavian art surely are familiar with this master, but how can the rest of us be conversant about the likes of Edvard Munch and not have had the introduction to this master painter? This wondrous volume fills a gap for all of us. Hammershoi has been compared to Vermeer for his uncanny sense of light, shadow, and composition. Just browse through the pages of this stately volume and drink in the atmosphere of the dark interiors and architectural renderings of Denmark's buildings and towns and bridges. His figures often face away from us as though the nearby window or other sensitive light source were more significant than their face. His palette is limited to umber/sienna/brown,black/white with only the ocassional use of warmer tones. But how these paintings illumine us! Hammershoi is in that rare class of painter with Antonio Lopez Garcia - two men who reveal our world to us as though we had never seen it. An utterly elegant and quiet monograph. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, January 10
