Celebrating the awe and wonder of the Arctic Circle region through visual art from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Vast, impenetrable coniferous forests, "white" summer nights, the perpetual darkness of snowy winters and the famous aurora borealis--the Arctic Circle is a fascinating, if unforgiving, region. The Fondation Beyeler and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum present an exhibition dedicated to this phenomenon with a stunning selection of 19th- and 20th-century paintings by artists from Scandinavia, Finland and Canada. With a gorgeous, atmospheric cover, the catalog presents work by internationally renowned artists such as Munch and af Klint, while also highlighting artists who are highly respected in their own countries but little known outside of them.
Artists include: Hilma af Klint, Helmi Biese, Anna Boberg, Emily Carr, Gustaf Fjæstad, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Lawren S. Harris, J.E.H. MacDonald, Edvard Munch, Prince Eugen of Sweden, Ivan Shishkin, Harald Sohlberg, Tom Thomson.
