"Interior, Strandgade 30," Vilhelm Hammershøi, 1901.
Hammershøi (1864-1916) was a Danish painter often associated with the Skagen school, although his work is far more subdued than the typical Skagen painting. He painted many interiors of his apartment in Copenhagen, usually with the figure of his wife seen from the rear. His depictions of his sparsely decorated rooms, muted colors, and stiff figures gives his paintings an air of tension and mystery.
When he did exteriors, like some paintings of grand buildings around the city, he did so without any human figures.
The Skagen school was a group of artists who gathered at the village of Skagen in Denmark; their style is a cross between Impressionism and Realism, and frequently colorful scenes of everyday life of the fishermen and farmers of Skagen, plus depictions of the artists leading a merry life. Hammershøi's work seems oddly somber compared to theirs, although he maintains that meeting between Impressionism and Realism.
And now in Black And White! The original was blue acrylic on Yupo...Three pieces hand stitched together (that took many hours!). Then I simply removed all of the color with PS. Black Magic. :)
