Beskrivning
With great candour and honesty Swedish artist Carl Larsson tells us of his remarkable life, from the harshness of a childhood in the poorest parts of Stockholm, through the years in the lively artists’ quarters of Paris, to the house in Dalarna that his paintings made world famous.Carl Larsson also describes a secret love affair, his two unknown children, and his later overwhelming love for Karin – all written in a language that almost a hundred years later is still entertaining, forceful and up-to-date.When Carl Larsson’s JAG was first published in Swedish in 1931, it was decided to remove details that might be seen as “sensitive”. This new edition includes previously unpublished material from the original handwritten manuscript, along with unique images from the family’s own photo albums. Here you will find the stories behind the paintings.
