Muut tiedot
“Dressing for summer” from 1918 is an exquisite interior from Gopsmor in which Zorn devotes himself to an in-depth study of complex lighting problems, in which different sources of light meet amid the dim chiaroscuro lighting typical of old masters. The daylight which dominates the composition enters from the window on the right-hand side, lighting the left side of the model, while the fire in the fireplace illuminates the foreground, reflected in the brick of the walls and the iron of the pot crane. The viewer can almost feel the warm air from the barely visible fire in the fireplace. Zorn also excels as a colourist where, despite his limited palette, he conjures up deep, rich yet delicate tonal painting, partly accentuated by the apron of the Mora folk costume and the hairband.
