Anders Zorn was one of Swedenrsquo;s foremost artists who obtained international success as a painter; sculptor and printmaker in etching. His incisive ability to depict the individual character of his model is famous. The models surroundings were important; Zorn believed that a portrait should be painted in an environment that was natural for the model. An artificial studio environment was not to his taste. The international esteem Zorn received was not based solely on his paintings but he was an exquisite etcher as well. He had worked with this technique since 1882. He had developed his abilities and was now highly accomplished. Zorn produced 289 etchings; a number of which are very well known; among them the portrait of Ernest Renan (1892); August Rodin (1906) and August Strindberg (1910). Zorn admired and collected the etched works of Rembrandt and considered him to be his artistic forefather in this particular medium.

Great Cliff Notes Version of the More Modern History of OKCBy RocknRollGal109I actually read this book twice because I felt that I had missed a few things the first time around. What a great Cliff Notes version of recent OKC History. I think the first 3 chapters were very well written and detailed oriented. The Author managed to transport me back to the time my mother was born and gave me a better insight into what was going in her world during that time period. The rest of the book is a pretty easy read and provide some interesting pictures of recent changes to OKC so that the reader can compare that to images from the late 1800s. I thought it was actually a nice touch to include some family photos so that people 100 years from now can see what was going on at the turn of the 21st century. I thought Mr. Griffith did an excellant job on taking us down memory lane. Although this particular book was not my favorite I find it a great read and a must book for those history lovers in your family. DC0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
