Laurits Andersen Ring: malerier af L.A. Ring på SMK = paintings by L.A. Ring at SMK

Abstract

"The Danish realist and symbolist painter Laurits Andersen Ring (1854-1933) stands alongside Vilhelm Hammershoi as one of the most important Danish artists from the decades around 1900. Breathtaking and fascinating, his paintings have a universal human quality that still touches us today. This book features a selection of 25 paintings from the most important Ring collection in the world: the collection of SMK, The National Gallery of Denmark. Covering many aspects of Ring's total body of work, the paintings selected here represent all his key themes and the sheer variety and complexity of his oeuvre. Ring's art and aspects of his working methods and painting techniques are explored in texts by specialists from SMK, and the book also includes a full list of Ring's paintings in the SMK Collection.
