Accompanying a major retrospective of Anders Zorn’s work, this is the first volume in English to explore the Swedish Impressionist’s entire career in depth. Anders Zorn (1860–1920) is one of Sweden’s most accomplished and beloved artists. Renowned for his light, expressive watercolors, he attained mastery of the genre at an early age and later applied his techniques to oil painting. Zorn is often compared with the artists John Singer Sargent and Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, contemporaries who also were known for their portraits of high-society figures. Taking up residence in London and then in Paris, Zorn established himself as an international portrait painter, depicting fashionable clients in a style both elegant and relaxed. He became a favorite among wealthy American collectors, bankers, and industrialists who sat for him, including art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner and three U.S. presidents. Although perhaps best known for his portraits, Zorn brought equal skill to painting genre scenes and views of nature. This handsome volume provides a thorough introduction to the artist and his works, from portraiture to landscapes and his famous nudes. Four illustrated essays are accompanied by a chronology, selected bibliography, an exhibition checklist, and an index. Review: Brilliant Reproductions of his work - Look this artist up on line. If you are attracted by his pictures, then this book is a MUST for you. Well worth the cost. Review: Anders Zorn master painter. - Excellent service! Zorn is Sweden’s master painter and the volume covers his exhibition in the USA some years ago.

AN EXCELLENT BOOK- APART FROM A FAIR N UMBER OF BLAND POT BOILER PORTRAITS DEVOID OF CHARACTER
THIS IS A GOOD BOOK ON ANDERS ZORN THE REPRODUCTIONS ARE EXCELLENT .A PART OF HIS WORK THAT IS MOSTLY MEDIOCRE ARE THE PORTRAITS HE HAD TO DO IN ORDER TOMAKE A LIVING.ARTISTICALLY HE WAS WASTING HIS TIME .SOROLLA,S AND REPIN,S WORK SUFFER IN THE SAME WAY .,UNFORTUNATELY.

Comparable and as superb as Manet or Degas.
Whilst this book is superb, a lot of Zorns works are left out. You DO though get a very good selection, but some of his landscapes with land girls are missing? Just a little point......I wished they’d printed the sizes and dates of the paintings under the actual plates. Instead, they’re in the index at the back. Why have an index? It’s a clumsy way to do it. You have to keep on turning backwards and forwards to see information. I love this artist so much.......recommended.

Excellent livre , nombreuses grandes illustrations
Sans doute le plus beau livre sur ZORN en ce moment à la vente grande qualité d'impression , nombreuses toiles , ce livre est un grand format , et tres bien illustré tres belle qualité , les photos des œuvres de Zorn y sont nombreuses et grandes . je ne comprendrai jamais ces mauvais commentaires ou le client juge le colis arrivé en retard ou endommagé ...et qui ne jugent pas l’œuvre , ce manque de discernement est affligeant . bref superbe livre ! Achetez !

Exquisite art!
This large volume was the companion ‘catalogue’ to an exhibition of Anders Zorn’s works. While it is not exhaustive in its presentation of his art it does provide a very nice sampling from this amazing, somewhat under-recognized, Swedish artist. Zorn was a contemporary of the more well known American painter Sargeant and they apparently shared similar techniques and a bit of professional rivalry. Zorn is noted for the quality of ‘light’ in his paintings which have an ‘impressionist’ aspect while also presenting meticulous detail reminiscent of the Pre Raphaelite movement. He was equally adept in the mediums of watercolour, oil painting, and etching - all of which are displayed to good advantage within this book - including a few small bronze sculptures. This is a beautifully produced book with excellent quality reproductions and much informative text. I only wish it was twice the size so that it included more of this master’s works. This is a great introduction to this amazing artist - highly recommended!

アンデッシュ ソーンの世界
素晴らしい技術で葯９９点の油彩画、エッチング１９点描かれている。 突き詰めた作品から、印象派風の作品まで人物・群像図・婦人・風景等 様々なジャンルの絵を 作品化している。エッチングは、鋭いストロークで対象を見事に捉えている。 個人的には、油彩画では、エルンスト・ジョセフソン サマーバケーション ムーシュ・モーリ セント・アイヴスの魚市場（この作品は構成が優れている) ４作品が素晴らしい作品と思う。
