This catalogue accompanies the first major exhibition in the UK dedicated to Anna Ancher (1859 - 1935), considered to be one the most innovative artists in Danish art history.
Bringing together recently discovered paintings from Anna Ancher's home, alongside an extensive body of work made throughout the artist's long career, the exhibition will feature more than 40 of her paintings, including the artist's most famous masterpieces on special loan from Art Museums of Skagen. A central figure of the Skagen artist colony, based at the northernmost point of Jutland, Ancher is widely considered to be the most significant female painter in Danish art history. She is widely celebrated in her homeland yet remains relatively unknown to British audiences.
Ancher was an influential figure of the Scandinavian 'Modern Breakthrough' movement that sought to capture real life, demonstrated in her intimate, observational works, which documented everyday experiences in the fishing town of Skagen. Influenced by her travels to Paris, as well as French Impressionism, the artist produced vivid interiors and evocative landscape scenes in which light becomes the central figure. The exhibition will demonstrate Ancher's bold approach to colour and radical interpretation of everyday scenes as a truly pioneering modern painter.
