Carl Larsson


Carl Larsson (1853-1919) is known for his scenes of rural domesticity. His watercolours sing the praises of the happy home and family life. Larsson grew up in deprivation and poverty, and his art reflects his yearning for a life of idyllic contentment.

"This is an exciting art book, which has story. We are all impressed by art works of family and home themes, by Carl Larsson, the Swedish painter who did not have a very happy childhood. Just like reading his diary, readers would be fascinated by his paintings and drawings on daily life and ordinary people."
