Hammershi: Painter of Northern Light (Champion Jean-Loup)(Pevná vazba)

Showcasing the best works by the acclaimed Nordic master of light and solitude, this is the first major book on the artist since 1998. The paintings of Vilhelm Hammersh i (1864-1916) have become increasingly popular due their almost contemporary aesthetic. Admired and celebrated during his lifetime, Hammersh i gradually fell into oblivion before being rediscovered in the 1990s. He is now recognized as the iconic painter of Nordic light and solitude.
