Dalarna 2012: The Zorn Museum
What we wanted to see in Mora was the Zorn Museum, which my mother had dreamed of visiting for I don't know how long. Well, finally her dream came true. :-) Anders Zorn (1860-1920) is Mora's most famous son and one of Sweden's foremost artists. The Zorn Museum is dedicated to showcasing his work, with temporary exhibitions on related subjects. The video shows pretty much what there is to see of Zorn's work there. Not at all bad. :-)
Dalarna 2012: Julia Beck at the Zorn Museum
When we visited the Zorn Museum, the temporary exhibition was on the painter and calligrapher Julia Beck, a contemporary of Zorn's. I made a video. :-)
The Swedish Light and Figures of Anders Zorn
Journey to Sweden to view The Master of Swedish Light and Figures, Anders Leonard Zorn (1860-1920). This video is an artist's view of Zorn's Museum, Zorngården and summer painting cabin in Gopsmor.
Zorn painted in his two Northern lit log cabin studios, en plein air and fireside creating timeless beauty with the most basic of materials. Close up images of Zorn's palette, oil colors and locations of his paintings. Zorn was a versitile Master of Water Color, Oil Painting, Sculpture and Etching.

Zorn - Trailer
Tillsammans med vännen Albert Engström besöker Anders Zorn en dansbana i Mora under den för honom viktigaste högtiden på året – midsommarfesten! Där dansar han med en ung kvinna som han sedan förför i skogen. Anders Zorn omtalades på 1910-talet som en stor dalapatriot, storseglare och världsresenär. Hans målningar gör stor succé i Stockholm, Paris, Chicago och New York. Ingen kunde måla vattnets rörelse, ljusets reflexer i vattenytan och naken kvinnohud som Anders Zorn. Han hade världen som sitt arbetsfält men återvände alltid till Mora, platsen där han växte upp.

(added over 100 new paintings than previous video)
Description: Anders Zorn (Swedish, 1860–1920) was a painter, sculptor, and printmaker known as the Swedish Impressionist. Born in the small town of Mora, Zorn studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm, working mainly in watercolor. He quickly achieved success, receiving a number of commissions and traveling extensively in Europe and the United States. In the late 1880s, he took up oil painting and settled in Paris, where in lived for eight years and exhibited works at the Paris Salon and Paris World Fair. At the age of 29, he was made a Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur
Zorn gained international acclaim for his skillfully executed portraits, and became known for his ability to capture the individual characteristics of his subjects. His portrait commissions included three US presidents.
After returning to Mora, Zorn executed a number of paintings of the local residents. He was also a talented etcher, taking inspiration from Rembrandt, and produced nearly 300 etchings over the course of his career. In addition, he created a number of sculptures, which included portraits and small-scale figures.
Today, his works are part of the permanent collections of institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Courtauld Institute in London, the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, and the Zorn Museum in the artist’s hometown of Mora.

Anders Zorn (1860-1920) A collection of paintings 4K Ultra HD
Anders Leonard Zorn (1860-1920) was one of Sweden's foremost artists. He obtained international success as a painter, sculptor, and etcher.
Among Zorn's portrait subjects were King Oscar II of Sweden, and three American Presidents, Grover Cleveland, William H. Taft, and Theodore Roosevelt.
At the end of his life, he established the Swedish literary Bellman Prize in 1920.
Zorn was born and raised on his grandparents' farm in Yvraden, a hamlet near the village of Utmeland in the parish of Mora, Dalarna. He studied until the age of twelve in the school at Mora Strand before progressing in the autumn of 1872 to a secondary grammar school in Enköping.
From 1875 to 1880 Zorn studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm, where he amazed his teachers with his talent. Members of Stockholm society approached him with commissions.
This was how Zorn met his wife, Emma Lamm, early in 1881. Her background was different from Zorn's. Coming from a wealthy Jewish merchant family, she was interested in art and culture.
Zorn traveled extensively to London, Paris, the Balkans, Spain, Italy and the United States, becoming an international success as one of the most acclaimed painters of his era.
It was primarily his skill as a portrait painter that gained Zorn international acclaim based principally upon his incisive ability to depict the individual character of his model.
His subjects included three American Presidents, one of whom was Grover Cleveland in 1899, as well as his wife, along with William H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt. At 29, he was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur at the Exposition Universelle 1889 Paris World Fair.
In 1886, Anders Zorn and his wife Emma, bought land close to Mora church and here they moved a cottage from his maternal grandfather's farm.
When Anders and Emma Zorn decided to return to Sweden after several years abroad, they began to enlarge the cottage. Zorngården was completed in 1910.
Zorngården remains today much as it was at the time of Emma Zorn's death in 1942. It is a fine example of an artist's home from the turn of the century. With inspiration from English and Swedish architecture, it is today an excellent example of the architectural freedom that characterizes the years around 1900.
Zorn's art made him wealthy and he was thus able to build up a considerable collection of art. The objects were not only bought in his native country but also during the many travels he made abroad. In their joint will, Anders and Emma Zorn donated their entire holdings to the Swedish State.
Some of his most important works can be seen at the National Museum of Fine Arts (Swedish: Nationalmuseum) in Stockholm. Among them is Midsummer Dance (1897), a depiction of dancers in the evening light of a rural Midsummer's Eve celebration.
Other museums holding major works by Zorn include the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The Zorn Collections (Swedish:Zornsamlingarna) located in Mora and Garberg, Älvdalen, consist of four museums dedicated to the life and works of Anders Zorn.
The main museum - Zornmuseet - was designed by Ragnar Östberg and opened in 1939. Shown there are extensive works of Zorn and his collected art by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, 'The Hovingham Master' (Poussin's follower), Bruno Liljefors, Albert Edelfelt, and Pehr Hilleström.
Zorn is also famous for his nude paintings. His fondness of painting full-figured women gave rise to the terms Zorn's kulla or dalakulla, an unmarried woman or girl from Dalecarlia, as the women were called in the local dialect of the region Zorn lived.
Zorn is known to use a basic color palette consisting of Lead White, Yellow Ochre, Vermilion and Ivory Black. This limited color palette shows tremendous range in terms of color mixing. A large variety of tonal ranges are possible to mix and considered as a very important development for portrait painting.
However, the color palette can also be used in still life and landscape painting under certain circumstances. Most striking aspect is that a kind of an olive green color is possible to obtain by mixing Ivory Black and Yellow Ochre as Ivory Black is bluish in nature.
However, the notion that Zorn used only these four colors is untrue. His paintings show the use of other auxiliary colors wherever needed.

Zorngården
Zorngården i Mora hör till Sveriges mest berömda konstnärshem. Byggnadens historia går tillbaka till 1886, då Anders Zorn förvärvade en tomt intill Mora kyrka. Hit flyttade han en liten timmerstuga som stått på hans morfars gård. Med åren kom stugan att utvidgas, särskilt sedan makarna Zorn 1896 slagit sig ned Mora. Arbetet med huset pågick fram till 1910. Byggnadens mest spektakulära rum är den nio meter höga salen på andra våningen.
Det var Zorn själv som svarade för husets utformning. Med stor idérikedom, grundad på såväl tradition som det då moderna byggnadssättet, skapade han ett mycket originellt hem för sig och sin hustru. Huset uppvisar en frisk blandning av lokal timmerbyggnadskonst, dåtidens föreställningar om vikingatida bostäder och engelsk villaarkitektur. Zorngården är ett gott exempel på den arkitektoniska frihet som kännetecknade decennierna kring sekelskiftet 1900.
I husets rika föremålssamling blandas konst och konsthantverk från olika delar av världen med kurbits och dalatradition. Här finns förnäma vävda tapeter, antika marmorskulpturer, målningar av äldre mästare och möbler ritade av Zorn själv. I matsalen står bordet uppdukat med glas, silver och porslin, anpassat efter årets olika årstider.
I Zorngårdens trädgård, anlagd på 1910-talet, kan du sommartid njuta av gammeldags rosor, blomster, köksväxter och fruktträd och, inte minst, Zorns vackra fontänskulpturer.

ANDERS LEONARD ZORN PINTOR SUECO 1860-1920
Anders Leonard Zorn (Mora, Dalarna, 18 de febrero 1860 — Mora, 22 de agosto 1920), fue un pintor impresionista, escultor y grabador sueco.
Anders Leonard Zorn nació en Mora, Dalarna. Hijo de Grudd Anna Andersdotter y Leonhard Zorn, no llegó a conocer a su padre y fue criado por sus abuelos. Anders Leonard Zorn comenzó a estudiar en 1872 en la escuela de Enköping. Tres años después, en 1875, Anders Leonard Zorn se matriculó en la Academia de las Artes de Estocolmo, donde estuvo estudiando hasta 1880. El mismo año que acabó sus estudios Anders Leonard Zorn conoció a Emma Lamm, mas conocida como Emma Zorn (1860 - 1942, Mora), que provenía de una acaudalada familia, y con quien se casó en 1885.
Anders Leonard Zorn estuvo viajando por Europa y a su paso por España se interesó por la obra de Velazquez, por lo que empezó a experimentar con los distintos efectos sobre el agua, como se puede observa en Sommarnöje (1886). Algo después Anders Leonard Zorn viajó a Francia donde adquirió bastante fama y estableció su residencia en París. En la Exposición Universal de 1889 Anders Leonard Zorn fue nombrado Caballero de la Legión de Honor francesa y se asentó como uno de los pintores mas importantes de la época, llegando incluso a recibir una invitación para exponer su autorretrato en la Galería Uffizi.
Anders Leonard Zorn se convirtió en uno de los pintores de retratos más reconocidos internacionalmente en su momento, lo que le valió un lugar entre las principales personalidades de la vida cultural parisina de la primera mitad del siglo XIX.
Con motivo de la Exposición Internacional de Columbia (1893), Zorn realizó el primero de varios viajes a los Estados Unidos. Gracias a ellos pudo contar con tres Presidentes Americanos entre sus modelos: Grover Cleveland en 1899, Theodore Roosevelt, (1905) y William Taft, (1911).
En 1896 Anders Leonard Zorn y su esposa Emma regresaron a Mora. Zorn comenzó a mostrar una preocupación creciente por la conservación del folklore musical sueco, preocupación que plasma en sus obras. Comienza a abarcar temas de carácter popular, como escenas costumbristas propias del pueblo sueco. Fiel reflejo de ello es el cuadro Midsommardans (1897), una representación de bailarines bajo la luz crepuscular en una celebración rural del Solsticio de verano.
La obra al óleo de Zorn muestra un naturalismo próximo al Impresionismo, donde se percibe la influencia de Velázquez, mientras que su obra como grabador se resuelve en trazos sueltos, quedando patentes sus cualidades de dibujante y una similitud palpable inspirada en Rembrandt. Se conservan 289 grabados.
Anders Leonard Zorn realizó asimismo un gran número de acuarelas, especialmente durante sus primeros años de matrimonio, apremiado por su mujer. Podemos destacar Sommarnöje (Vacaciones de Verano) (1886) o su acuarela más famosa, Vårt dagliga bröd (Nuestro pan diario) (1886).
Los desnudos de Anders Leonard Zorn son célebres, serie que inició durante su estancia en Francia, con obras como Outdoors (1888) o Las bañistas (1888).
El polifacético artista destacó también en el ámbito de la escultura, de la que nos legó obras de carácter naturalista en pequeño formato, como Baño matutino (1909), y de carácter público, como la Estatua de Gustav Vasa (1903)
Algunos de los trabajos más importantes se encuentran expuestos en el Nationalmuseum (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes) en Estocolmo, Suecia. Otros museos que albergan trabajos de Zorn son el Musée d'Orsay en Paris y el Metropolitan Museum of Art en Nueva York.
