Home: Through the Paintings of Carl Larsson
Product Description
Welleran Poltarnees uses Larsson’s paintings as an opportunity to consider the truths of home and family, and the resultant book is a loving testimony to the transformative powers of art and love.
Beloved Swedish artist Carl Larsson (1853-1919) and his wife Karin (née Bergöö, 1859-1928), a talented artist in her own right, meticulously decorated their home in rural Sweden. They designed, built and decorated the furniture, wove and embroidered all the textiles, and painted the walls of their lovely cottage in Sundborn. There they lived in great happiness with their many children. This home - Lilla Hyttnäs – and the Larssons’ lifestyle helped to inspire a uniquely Swedish design style that was, and is, hugely influential. Carl captured the beauty and happiness of their home in many paintings, and these illustrate this volume.
Editor Blue Lantern Studio, illustrator Carl Larsson, 32 pages, hardcover, in English
