Interviews with Baselitz, Kirkeby, Baechler, Lena Cronqvist, Olav Christoffer Jenssen, Ola Billgren, Torsten Andersson about Carl Fredrik Hill and at the same time a very comprehensive book on the life and art of Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911). A Swedish artist who studied art in Stockholm and then travelled to Paris in the fall of 1873, where he was inspired by French art, while at the same time developed his own style of painting. In 1878 Hill was diagnosed with schizophrenia; however, he continued to work until his death in 1911. During this period he created a large body of works, which continues to inspire artists and writers today.
