This book, packed with Carl Larsson's works, follows his life from his youth through his final years. Narrative honestly and objectively details the life of the man known as "artist to the whole Swedish nation." A treat!
This is the last in the series of books put out by Carl Larsson (1853-1919) about his family and his home. The children are not all that has grown since the appearance of the first book in the series. Some of them are no longer part of the household and the home itself has been steadily altered. And a new household in Falun has been added to accommodate schooling for the children in that larger town. The book gives the impression of a serial account, filled with new scenes and subtle humor, and characterizes Larsson's penetrating later style. Translated from the Swedish by Allan Lake Rice, PhD. With over 30 full-color illustrations.
A story told by Suzanne about her famous painter father and the pictures he paints of the family and house
Im letzten der Bücher, die Larsson über seine Familie veröffentlichte, zeigt er das Sundborner Haus durch Umbauten sehr verändert, die meisten Kinder leben im „Schulhaushalt“ im nahen Falun. Das Buch atmet eine geradezu spätsommerliche Ruhe und Nachdenklichkeit, die durch die Erfahrungen der vergangenen Jahre geprägt ist. – Alle Texte in Schwedisch (deutsche Ausgabe ISBN 978-3-7845-2736-9).
Des aquarelles de Larsson considéré comme un personnage répandant la joie de vivre, une figure de proue de la bourgeoisie patriarcale.
