With Dr. Thor J. Mednick, Assistant Professor of Art History, University of Toledo. Anders Zorn was arguably the most internationally successful of all the Scandinavian painters working in the 1890s. In his effort to make a place for himself as a Scandinavian modernist, Zorn fashioned a style that was at once internationally relevant and regionally peculiar. With particular attention to Zorn’s extended sojourns in Paris and the United States, the works he produced in these years and the cultural luminaries he encountered and worked with, this talk will contextualize Zorn in the general emergence of Scandinavian art into the mainstream and evaluate his significance for this phenomenon.
