칼 라르손(Carl Larsson), 스웨덴, 미술가, 1853-1919

스웨덴의 국민 화가라 불리는 칼 라르손(스웨덴어: Carl Larsson), 1853년 5월 28일 ~ 1919년 1월 22일)은 스웨덴의 미술가이자 인테리어 디자이너이다. 그는 사실주의 화가이자 미술공예운동(아트 앤 크래프트 운동)의 대표자이기도 하다. 어린 시절에는 집안 형편이 어려웠고, 아버지의 가정폭력으로 매우 어두운 시기를 보냈다. 칼 라르손은 아내와 결혼 후 행복한 가정을 꾸려나갔으며 주로 자신의 실제 가정생활을 많이 그렸다. 그의 아내는 그의 삶과 그의 작품 스타일에도 영향을 많이 주었는데, 그의 작품은 유화, 수채화, 프레스코로 이루어져 있으며 온화한 느낌을 준다.

 

실제로 칼 라르손은 그의 가족들에게 굉장히 온화하고 따뜻한 가장이었다고 한다. 아래에 첨부된 첫 번째 그림이 칼과 그의 딸의 모습을 함께 그린 작품이다.  그는 자신 최고 작품으로 <<한 겨울의 희생(스웨덴어: Midvinterblot)>>을 꼽았는데 이는 현재 스웨덴 국립 미술관에 전시되어 있다.

 

                                                                                              About Him

 

Carl Larsson (28 May 1853 – 22 January 1919) was a Swedish painter representative of the Arts and Crafts movement. His many paintings include oils, watercolors, and frescoes. He considered his finest work to be Midvinterblot (Midwinter Sacrifice), a large painting now displayed inside the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts.

 

Larsson was born on 28 May 1853 in the old town of Stockholm, at 78 Prästgatan. His parents were extremely poor, and his childhood was not happy.

 

Renate Puvogel, in her book Larsson, gives detailed information about Carl's life: "His mother was thrown out of the house, together with Carl and his brother Johan; after enduring a series of temporary dwellings, the family moved into Grev Magnigränd No. 7 (later No. 5) in what was then Ladugårdsplan, present-day Östermalm". As a rule, each room was home to three families; "penury, filth and vice thrived there, leisurely seethed and smouldered, eaten-away and rotten bodies and souls. Such an environment is the natural breeding ground for cholera", he wrote in his autobiographical novel Me (Jag).

 

Larsson's father worked as a casual laborer, sailed as a stoker on a ship headed for Scandinavia, and lost the lease to a nearby mill, only to work there later as a mere grain carrier. Larsson portrays him as a loveless man lacking self-control; he drank, ranted and raved, and incurred the lifelong anger of his son after an outburst in which he declared, "I curse the day you were born". In contrast, Carl's mother worked long hours as a laundress to provide for her family.

 

However, at the age of thirteen, his teacher Jacobsen, at the school for poor children urged him to apply to the "principskola" of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, and he was admitted. During his first years there, Larsson felt socially inferior, confused, and shy. In 1869, at the age of sixteen, he was promoted to the "antique school" of the same academy. There Larsson gained confidence, and even became a central figure in student life. Carl earned his first medal in nude drawing. In the meantime, Larsson worked as a caricaturist for the humorous paper Kasper and as a graphic artist for the newspaper Ny Illustrerad Tidning. His annual wages were sufficient to allow him to help support his parents financially.

 

After several years working as an illustrator of books, magazines, and newspapers, Larsson moved to Paris in 1877, where he spent several frustrating years as a hardworking artist without any success. Larsson was not eager to establish contact with the French progressive Impressionists; instead, along with other Swedish artists, he cut himself off from the radical movement of change.

 

After spending two summers in Barbizon, the refuge of the plein-air painters, he settled down with his Swedish painter colleagues in 1882 in Grez-sur-Loing, at a Scandinavian artists' colony outside Paris. It was there that he met the artist Karin Bergöö, who soon became his wife. This was to be a turning point in Larsson's life. In Grez, Larsson painted some of his most important works, now in watercolour and very different from the oil painting technique he had previously employed.
