The Swedish national painter Anders Zorn (1860-1920) is a representative of tradition when ARKEN spotlights Nordic identity past and present. ANDERS ZORN AND NORDIC CONTEMPORARY ART illustrates how Nordic self-knowledge has developed – from national character to brand, from bathing beauties to tourist theatre, from one to several identities.
One of Sweden's most famous and beloved artists, Zorn has helped shape and retain the culture that today is employed to promote Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia as unique. His depictions of voluptuous bathing beauties and colourful Dalarna villagers to many people epitomise that particular Nordic quality.
