Carl Larsson, loved by people around the world. This is Larsson’s autobiography, published posthumously from his papers and writing in Swedish in 1931. The progress of his life, his family and his career is thoroughly illustrated with his own art, which if course lends itself by its nature to describing the neighbours and domestic life around him. He sketches out his life from beginning to end, including his life’s body of work and his relationships with other artists at the time, like Zorn and Liljefors. Also a thorough account of his wife Karin Larsson.

A long row of exhibitons devoted to this Swedish artist between 1981 and 2001 make it clear that the perennial interest in this artist continues even in our day. The present publication confronts the reader with Larsson’s work, his life and also his thought and feeling. The picture-sequence is thematic rather than chronological or biographical. This book should render a bit more of “the whole Larsson”. Chiefly, however, this book may be said to be the fullest collection of Larsson pictures available in English in a single volume.
