{"title":"Larsson, Carl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarl Olof Larsson (1853-1919)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Swedish painter representative of the Arts and Crafts movement. His many paintings include oils, watercolours and frescoes. He is principally known for his watercolours of idyllic family life. He considered his finest work to be Midvinterblot (Midwinter Sacrifice), a large painting now displayed inside the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarsson was born on 28 May 1853, in the Gamla stan neighbourhood of Stockholm, Sweden. His parents were extremely poor, and his childhood was not happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarsson's father worked as a casual labourer, sailed as a stoker on a ship headed for Scandinavia, and lost the lease to a nearby mill, only to work there later as a mere grain carrier. Larsson portrays him as a loveless man lacking self-control; he drank, ranted and raved, and incurred the lifelong anger of his son after an outburst in which he declared, \"I curse the day you were born\". In contrast, Carl's mother worked long hours as a laundress to provide for her family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, at the age of thirteen, his teacher at the school for poor children urged him to apply to the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, and he was admitted. During his first years there, Larsson felt socially inferior, confused, and shy. In 1869, at the age of sixteen, he was promoted to the \"antique school\" of the same academy. There Larsson gained confidence, and even became a central figure in student life. Carl earned his first medal in nude drawing. In the meantime, Larsson worked as a caricaturist for the humorous paper Kasper and as a graphic artist for the newspaper Ny Illustrerad Tidning. His annual wages were sufficient to allow him to help support his parents financially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter several years working as an illustrator of books, magazines, and newspapers, Larsson moved to Paris in 1877, where he spent several frustrating years as a hardworking artist without any success. Larsson was not eager to establish contact with the French progressive Impressionists; instead, along with other Swedish artists, he cut himself off from the radical movement of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter spending two summers in Barbizon, the refuge of the plein-air painters, he settled down with his Swedish painter colleagues in 1882, in Grez-sur-Loing at a Scandinavian artists' colony outside Paris. It was there that he met the artist Karin Bergöö (1859-1928), who soon became his wife. This was to be a turning point in Larsson's life. In Grez, Larsson painted some of his most important works, now in watercolour and very different from the oil painting technique he had previously employed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarl and Karin Larsson had eight children: Suzanne (b.1884), Ulf (b.1887), Pontus (b.1888), Lisbeth (b.1891), Brita (b.1893), Mats (b.1894), Kersti (b.1896) and Esbjörn (b.1900). His family became Larsson's favourite models. Many of the interiors depicted were the work of Karin Larsson, who also worked as an interior designer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1888, the young family was given a small house named Lilla Hyttnäs at Sundborn just outside Falun in Dalarna by Karin's father Adolf Bergöö (1828-1890). Carl and Karin decorated and furnished this house according to their particular artistic taste and also for the needs of the growing family. Through his paintings and books, Little Hyttnäs has become one of the most famous artist's homes in the world, transmitting the artistic taste of its creators and making it a major line in Swedish interior design. The descendants of Carl and Karin Larsson now own this house, now known as Carl Larsson-gården, and keep it open for tourists each summer from May until October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his later years he suffered from bouts of depression. While working on Midvinterblot (1915), a large decoration for the vestibule of the Nationalmuseum, Larsson experienced the onset of an eye problem and a worsening of his frequent headaches. After suffering a mild stroke in January 1919, he spent his remaining time completing his memoirs. He died later that month in Falun and was buried in the cemetery of Sundborn Church (Sundborns kyrka).\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"carl-larsson-44-high-resolution-images","title":"Carl Larsson 44 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the domestic world of Swedish Arts \u0026amp; Crafts artist Carl Larsson, renowned for his interior scenes that often included one or more of his many children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 44 hi-res images in JPEG format by the artist Carl Larsson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images are all 600dpi and range in size from 3336 pixels wide\/tall to 5696 pixels wide\/tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pictures are out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use them in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarl Olof Larsson (1853-1919)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a Swedish painter representative of the Arts and Crafts movement.
