About Anders Zorn (1860-1920): Born near Mora, Dalarna, Zorn attended the Academy of Art in Stockholm at the age of 15. His breakthrough came five years later with a watercolor portrait of a young woman in mourning. In the fall of 1882, he established himself in London as a portrait painter, having spent the summer learning the technicalities of etching from a Swedish etcher living in London, Axel Herman Hgg (1835-1921). Zorn's first etching was made from a watercolor portrait of Hgg. Ten years later, the Swedish authorities asked Zorn to be the commissioner for the Swedish Art Exhibit at the 1893 World Exposition in Chicago. By that time, the 32-year-old Zorn had worked also in Paris for several years and was internationally respected for his watercolors, etchings, and oil paintings. Zorn's first visit to the United States was followed by six more trips between 1896 and 1911, during which time he painted close to a hundred American portraits. Zorn was a master of line etching and transferred many of his paintings to etchings. His elevated position in the art world led to that his prints became desirable objects to own. This in turn led to that prints by other artists were given a place in wealthy homes contributing to the increased prestige of printmaking in Sweden. |
