Anders Zorn: Sweden's Master Painter Review: Beautiful Book - Has the history of this painter and tells you about his color theory. Lovely hardcover book. Review: Zorn, a great artist, a tragic career. - Zorn was a great talent, a magnificent painter in watercolors, the most difficult medium. This volume, published as a catalogue for an exhibition of his work, first in San Francisco, next this winter (2014) in NYC at the National Academy of Design. A special feature of this rather large and heavy volume is that four different art "enthusiasts" have authored four different texts. In one of them the text is extremely well coordinated with the reproductions of the work. Zorn's portrait of Isabella Stewart Gardner (according to my memory, based on the original in Boston) is a truly great painting, unfortunately the reproduction in my copy of this book is terrible, probably due to the "enhancement" built into digital cameras. While Zorn was a master at portrait likenesses and his earliest watercolor ones are wonderful, he eventually became preoccupied with the great financial opportunities that America's wealthy individuals presented. Around age 25 he started using oils. Tragically he lost his focus. The oil portraits, while good for likenesses (it must be assumed from context clues) probably are terrible paintings. I write "probably" because I will not see them until they are at New york's N.A.D. It is through these "bad" portraits that the forthcoming exhibition and this book are extremely useful guides of what not to do... especially to America's current generation of revivaled Realists... Don't make Zorn's mistake. Don't sell out. Don't go for the money. Stay true to yourself. Stay true to art. Zorn was also a superb etcher. Having seen the lessened exhibition at N.A.D. I add that the oil portraits were weak as feared, no comparison to Sargent, as erroneously stated by another. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #268,660 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #271 in Art Movements (Books) #729 in Individual Artists (Books) #954 in Art History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (390) | | Dimensions | 9.5 x 1.2 x 12.4 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0847841510 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0847841516 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | October 29, 2013 | | Publisher | Rizzoli Electa | ## Images ![Anders Zorn: Sweden's Master Painter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OYioZNX4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Book *by S***R on April 12, 2026* Has the history of this painter and tells you about his color theory.

This is a beautifully produced volume. All the ingredients are there - sturdy binding, heavy pages, gorgeous dust jacket and most importantly, the image resolution is perfect. Up until now there has been very little available on this noted Swedish artist. Earlier this year another volume by Oliver Tostmann, "A European Artist Seduces America" was released. This is a worthwhile work as well but not nearly as thorough as Johan Cederlund's new book. "Sweden's Master Painter" contains a well-rounded and thoughtful selection of Zorn's paintings & etchings, with a heavy emphasis on his portraiture work. The landscapes are amazing and Zorn is particularly adept at capturing the qualities in any given body of water. His portraits will remind one of Sargent's style and his subjects were generally of that same social strata. The text is very informative but, thankfully, does not monopolize the overall content of the book. This book was designed to accompany an exhibit of Zorn's work at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. By chance, I am fortunate to live within driving distance of this amazing museum. For anyone who hasn't been, this venue is a must see. The permanent collection is quite impressive and coupled with this current exhibit affords a rare opportunity indeed. The museum is located on a promontory overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and the surrounding area and museum grounds are absolutely breathtaking. This is a must have book for any one who appreciates the fine arts. I wouldn't pass up Tostmann's book either. Both are very reasonably priced and will not disappoint. If budget or space is an issue get this title. Again, it is a much more extensive work and, wisely, hardbound. It should provide years of enjoyable viewing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/11194924-anders-zorn-swedens-master-painter](https://www.desertcart.in/products/11194924-anders-zorn-swedens-master-painter) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
