Anna Ancher - Lilian Munk Rösing - Bog

The catalogue Anna Ancher is the beautiful companion to the exhibition of the same name at the National Gallery of Denmark. The artist Anna Ancher is usually put in connection with the famous artists’ colony, the Skagen Painters. However, this beautiful and richly illustrated exhibition catalogue lets the artist speak for herself. Lillian Munk Rösing discusses Ancher’s boldness in Anchers’ choice to combine both the rustic colour palette from her native Skagen and new inspirations from Paris.
In addition, senior researcher and chief curator, Peter Nørgaard Larsen, analyses Anna Ancher’s use of light in her work. Chief curator at the Art Museums of Skagen, Charlotte Linvald, discusses the ambiguous and mysterious relationship Anna Ancher had with the Inner Mission in Denmark. Elisabeth Fabritius places Ancher in a male-dominated Modern Breakthrough and Cecilie Høgsbro Østergaard discusses Ancher in a feminist context.
Furthermore, Gertrud Oelsner, Mette Houlberg Rung, Nils Ohlsen, Andreas Bjerre, Caroline Bøjesen-Andersen share their great knowledge of Anna Ancher
