오스카 비에르크(Oscar Björck), 스웨덴, 화가, 1850-1929
스웨덴 화가 '오스카 비에르크'는 파리 유학 시절에 만난 덴마크 화가들과 친해졌습니다. 크뢰이어, 안나 앵커 등 그들은 덴마크 최북단의 작은 어촌 스카겐 Skagen에 예술가 마을을 만들어 함께 창작활동을 하던 스카겐파 화가들이었습니다.
북해의 파도가 끊이지 않는 스카겐 어촌은 거친 바다와 함께 아름다운 풍광으로 예술가들에게 큰 영감을 주는 곳이죠. 스웨덴 출신의 '오스카 비요르크'도 매년 여름엔 이곳의 예술가들과 합류하여 서로의 초상화도 그려주며, 현대적인 회화 스타일을 실험했답니다.
서른 즈음에 스톡홀름에 정착하여 오랫동안 스웨덴의 예술 발전을 위해 열심히 활동했습니다. 하지만 그의 예술적 창작의 화양연화는 역시 스카겐 시절이었답니다.
About Him
Oscar Gustaf Björck was a Swedish painter and a professor at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts.
Born in Stockholm, from 1877 to 1882, Björck was a student of Edvard Perséus at the Academy where his paintings included Loke fängslas af asarne (Loki imprisoned by Æsir) (1880), Gustaf Vasa inför kung Hans (Gustaf Vasa before King Hans) (1881) and Den förlorade sonens återkomst (Return of the prodigal son) (1882) which was awarded the Royal Medal. In 1883, Björck was awarded a travel scholarship. He spent the winter of 1883–84 in Paris. The following winter, he went to Munich where he painted a few portraits, including a full-length painting of his wife. In the spring of 1885, he moved to Venice and, in the autumn, to Rome where he painted the large portrait of Susanna (Gothenburg Museum of Art) and Romerska smeder (Roman blacksmiths) (Washington National Gallery of Art, Washington). In 1887, he completed a number of paintings including the Veneziansk saluhall (Venetian hall) (Nationalmuseum of Sweden), and Lördagsmässa i Markuskyrkan (Saturday Mass in St. Mark's Church).
After summer stays at Skagen in Denmark in 1882, 1883 and 1884, he finally settled in Stockholm in 1888 where he concentrated on portraits. These include several of King Oscar (among them one at Skokloster Castle, a full-length at Drottningholm Palace, one with crown and mantle in Stockholm Palace, and one which was acquired by the German emperor. He also painted Prins Eugen vid staffliet (Prince Eugen at the easel) (Nationamuseum, 1895); Crown Prince Gustaf (Stockholm Palace, 1900), The Artist's Wife (full-length, 1891, Gothenburg Museum) and Baron Johan Nordenfalk den yngre [sv] (Royal Academy, 1892). In addition, he completed a few landscapes, a couple of genres and various decorative paintings.
From 1889, he was a member of the Academy and its teaching staff and in 1898, he became a professor. Björck was Commissar for Art at the Stockholm Exposition in 1897, for the Baltic Exhibition in 1914 and for the Swedish exhibition in London in 1924.
Björck's earliest portraits were influenced by Georg von Rosen and his pictures from Skagen reflected the influence of Danish artists, especially Peder Severin Krøyer. In many of his characteristic works, he depicted the Swedish middle class of his times.
