Showcasing the best works by the acclaimed Nordic master of light and solitude, this is the first major book on the artist since 1998.

The paintings of Vilhelm Hammersh i (1864-1916) have become increasingly popular due their almost contemporary aesthetic. Admired and celebrated during his lifetime, Hammersh i gradually fell into oblivion before being rediscovered in the 1990s. He is now recognized as the iconic painter of Nordic light and solitude.

This 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, Hammersh i has an impassioned following who will appreciate this new volume.

Multiple scholarly texts and an illustrated chronology shed new light on Hammersh i's art and explore links with contemporary artists highlighting Hammersh i's singular genius and more radical aesthetic, which still engages and surprises us today.
