Presents the first comprehensive English book about Carl Larsson, Sweden's best-loved artist, and his wife Karin, a textile designer, who revolutionized interior design and established a Swedish-inspired style that continues to attract a worldwide following. Original. 10,000 first printing.
Identified as "the first designer of what would become known as Swedish Modern" by the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., Karin Bergoo Larsson (1859-1928) was a mother of eight and wife to Sweden's beloved painter, Carl Larsson. Herself a well-regarded artist, she gave up painting when she married, at the request of her husband. Taking up needles and cloth, she then turned a somewhat ugly cottage--Lilla Hyttnas in the tiny village of Sundborn, Sweden--into a designer showcase. Inspired by the Swedish countryside, she filled the home with handcrafted wall hangings, bed coverings, tablecloths, pillow covers and even furniture of her own design, while greatly influencing her husband's work by encouraging him to move away from dark oils to more illuminating and light-filled watercolors. His paintings of their home made her interior designs famous, and her influence continues to inform the concepts of retail giant IKEA.
Carl Larsson (18531919) was a Swedish artist who painted many portraits and book illustrations, but he is remembered above all for the watercolor paintings he made of his wife and children at home. He could paint an empty room, or he might paint a room crowded with kids in fancy costumes. Carls wife, Karin, was an artist too, and their house was full of flowers, books, and painted furniture designed by the two artists. You will find twenty-two of Carl Larssons pictures in this coloring book. They are shown as small pictures on the inside front and back covers.

A stunning collection of the Swedish artist's best-known paintings in one gift volume
Sixteen of Larsson's watercolors of his home and family are accompanied by text explaining the pictures and something of the life of this great Swedish artist.
Beloved Swedish artists Carl and Karin Larsson made their home a living testament to their aesthetics. They designed, built and decorated the furniture, wove and embroidered all the textiles, and painted the walls of the lovely cottage where they and their children lived in great happiness. The Larssons inspired a uniquely Scandinavian design style that was, and is, hugely influential. Carl's paintings captured the beauty and happiness of their home, and these illustrate this volume. Welleran Poltarnees' text considers the truths of home and family, and the resultant book is a loving testimony to the transformative powers of art and love.
Carl Larsson rose to fame with his scenes of everyday domestic life in the country. His watercolours are a homage to happy family life in the home. Larsson's own childhood was one of wretched poverty, but through his art he created an idyllic dream world of happiness and beauty.
