Showcasing the best works by the acclaimed Nordic master of light and solitude, this is the first major book on the artist since 1998.\nThe paintings of Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916) have become increasingly popular due their almost contemporary aesthetic. Admired and celebrated during his lifetime, Hammershøi gradually fell into oblivion before being rediscovered in the 1990s. He is now recognized as the iconic painter of Nordic light and solitude.\nThis newly researched monograph presents the artist’s best works, many drawn from rarely seen private collections. Enigmatic and subtle, his paintings feature empty interiors, shades of gray, and the silhouette of a lone figure. Reminiscent of Edward Hopper, Hammershøi has an impassioned following who will appreciate this new volume.\nMultiple scholarly texts and an illustrated chronology shed new light on Hammershøi’s art and explore links with contemporary artists highlighting Hammershøi’s singular genius and more radical aesthetic, which still engages and surprises us today.

MERCATOR

This lavishly illustrated catalogue accompanied the exhibitions: "Van Gogh &amp; Japan", Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 23 March - 24 June 2018, previously at Hokkaidō Museum of Modern Art (Sapporo), Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, and National Museum of Art (Kyoto). This paperback catalogue was available exclusively at Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam and is no longer in print and can considered a collectable item. Van Gogh never went to Japan. He created his own image of the country thanks to the Japanese prints he eagerly collected and closely studied. The colourful and exotic images greatly inspired him. Van Gogh started to copy Japanese prints to better understand them. Doing so, he developed a 'Japanese eye' that would give his work a new direction. What was this Japanese way of looking? This is what the exhibition Van Gogh &amp; Japan was about. The list of essays included in the book:
