I mit Billede maatte alt vige for Hensynet til LivsglAeden, Friskheden og Sollyset, og for at opnaa dette, maatte jeg male paa en anden Maade end den, man plejede at bruge.Sadan fortAeller J.F. Willumsen om sit arbejde med billedet Sol og ungdom fra 1910, der i dag regnes for et hovedvAerk i nordisk kunst.Sol og ungdom indvarsler en ny arbejdsmetode hos Willumsen, hvor lyset og farverne bliver afgorende elementer i hans malerier. Gennem et utal af skitser, forarbejder og fotografier udforsker han forholdet mellem natur og menneske og forskellen mellem kunst og virkelighed.I bogen I bolgen bla. Willumsen og de badende born undersoger forskere fra kunsthistorie, litteraturhistorie og pAedagogik maleriets tilblivelseshistorie og dets centrale placering i en periode, hvor bade fotografi og film far indflydelse pa kunsten, og hvor interessen for barnet og barnets natur bliver synlig i kunst, videnskab og mode.

Since the 1990s, acclaimed London-based Norwegian artist A K Dolven has produced a substantial body of work exploring the relationship between individuals and the perception of their environment, the connections that bind inner and outer realities, and the representation of sublime natural forces. Using a diverse range of media, including painting, film, sound and large-scale sculptural installation, she combines seemingly simple, almost minimalistic elements to create complex responses to a particular locale – especially the frozen landscapes of the Arctic Circle in her native Norway – while maintaining a universal voice that resonates far beyond the specifics of the place.

"This book offers a discovery: for the first time a comprehensive monograph explores the entire oeuvre of photographic artist Jan Groover (1943-2012), whose personal collection was transferred to the Swiss-based Musée de l'Elysée in 2017. Generously illustrated, 'Jan Groover, photographer: laboratory of forms' traces the artist's career from the beginnings in America to her late years in western France. Having started her career as a painter, when she turned to photography in the 1970s she developed a distinct artistic attitude that saw her amalgamate the disciplines of photography and painting. She was especially known for her carefully composed photographic still-lifes. Essays on her life and work, her significance as an artist, alongside a very personal contribution by her husband, French artist and critic Bruce Boice, complement the images."--Back cover.
Yes, they're beautiful, but this catalogue for the show The Flower as Image asks a thornier question at its core: Why has the flower motif fascinated all sorts of artists through the ages, from Van Gogh to Mapplethorpe? The answer is twofold. For one, it's an easily accessible motif that simply provides a pretext for the artist to create a work. In addition, the flower brings with it a rich history as a symbol of sensuality, beauty, transience, love, sexuality, innocence, and Paradise. In fact, the flower is such a familiar symbol that an artist, in tackling the subject, is driven back to the very the question of what it means to create a work of art. Fifty artists are featured in this impressive collection, including Monet, Gauguin, Matisse, O'Keeffe, Picasso, Emil Nolde, Sigmar Polke, Andy Warhol, Pipilotti Rist, and Nobuyoshi Araki.

Per Kirkeby og Anne Wolden-Ræthinge har de seneste fem år ført samtaler om de største og mest betydningsfulde ting. Om livet, om døden, om kærligheden – om kunsten i Per Kirkebys liv, selvfølgelig. De seneste fem år har været revolutionerende for Per Kirkeby – han har været dødsens syg, han var ude af stand til at arbejde, han er blevet skilt og han har genfundet kærligheden.
