Description: "MAMA'S AND THE LITTLE GIRLS' ROOM" by Carl Larsson Carl Larsson was a Swedish painter representative of the Arts and Crafts movement. His many paintings include oils, watercolors, and frescoes. After several years working as an illustrator of books, magazines, and newspapers, Larsson moved to Paris in 1877, where he spent several frustrating years as a hardworking artist without any success. Larsson was not eager to establish contact with the French progressive Impressionists; instead, along with other Swedish artists, he cut himself off from the radical movement of change.

His parents were extremely poor, and his childhood was not happy. However, at the age of thirteen, his teacher Jacobsen, at the school for poor children urged him to apply to the "principskola" of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, and he was admitted. During his first years there, Larsson felt socially inferior, confused, and shy. In 1869, at the age of sixteen, he was promoted to the "antique school" of the same academy. There Larsson gained confidence, and even became a central figure in student life. Carl earned his first medal in nude drawing. In the meantime, Larsson worked as a caricaturist for the humorous paper Kasper and as a graphic artist for the newspaper Ny Illustrerad Tidning. His annual wages were sufficient to allow him to help support his parents financially. Carl and Karin Larsson had eight children (Suzanne (1884), Ulf (1887, who died at 18), Pontus (1888), Lisbeth (1891), Brita (1893), Mats (1894, who died at 2 months), Kersti (1896) and Esbjörn (1900)) and his family became Larsson's favourite models. Many of the interiors depicted were the work of Karin Larsson, who also worked as an interior designer. In his later years he suffered from bouts of depression. While working on a large decoration for the vestibule of the Nationalmuseum, Midvinterblot, Larsson experienced the onset of an eye problem and a worsening of his frequent headaches.After suffering a mild stroke in January 1919, he spent his remaining time completing his memoirs. He died in Falun on 22 January 1919. WE ACCEPT MOST OFFERS.ANY QUESTION PLEASE ASK! WE COMBINE SHIP. SHIPPING INFORMATION: All items are shipped the cheapest method unless otherwise specified.
