| Born in Sweden to a German brewer father and a Swedish peasant mother, Anders Zorn (1860-1920), the celebrated painter and printmaker, rose from humble beginnings to become an important member of the European and American upper classes. He was a friend to many of the great art patrons, such as Isabella Stewart Gardner, Charles Deering, and Mrs. Potter Palmer, and a painting of Ms. Gardner, as well as a fine collection of etchings, are on view at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Not only did Zorn love America, but America also loved him, and continues to do so. The artist was one of the most actively collected printmakers of the early 20th Century, and was often ranked among the world’s most highly-esteemed printmakers. We are pleased to be able to continue this tradition, with 34 fine prints by this Swedish master. |
