Denmark 2002. Oluf Høst was a Danish painter born in 1884 in Svaneke on the island of Bornholm. One of his greatest influences was Cezanne who was ideal in his artistic matters, though Høst emphasized a great difference between their work due to a major difference in their surroundings. For this reason, Høst felt anchored in a Nordic tradition. “This exhibition presents some essential aspects of an artist whose activities spread over a wide field: So it is the nature romantic, the landscape artist, the minimalist, the colourist as well as the metaphysical Høst that come into play in this exhibition.” This book also includes discussion of the landscapes in which he paints and the major themes of the exhibition., Danish / English, Year2002, Illust.

Washington DC 1998. On the occasion of a touring exhibition of this Scandinavian artist’s work, this book gorgeously depicts the sculptures that led to his world renown, with essays on his life and work as well as his impressive home Millesgården in Sweden. Milles (1875-1955) was classically trained and his early work displays the influence of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, in addition to the influence of Auguste Rodin, his teacher and mentor. Because he created numerous public works in the U.S., citizens from cities across the country still delight in his sculptures with their slightly abstracted human forms that convey a fanciful, perhaps Nordic, sense of the spirituality in his mythological, religious and imaginative subjects. , English, Year1998, Illust.
