T h e exhibition of modern French A r t held in 1910, and that of modern Swedish A r t held last year, were very successful, and the Committee trust that the Danish exhibition will prove a worthy successor to those already held in these galleries.

T h e present exhibition owes its inception to a proposal made last year by the Danish London editor, Mr. M . L . Y d e , who has rendered valuable assistance to the Committee. It is probably the flrst thoroughly representative exhibition of modern Danish Art ever held in England, and forms a fitting sequel to the exhibition of Danish Art held at the Guildhall, London, in

1907, which was to a great extent retrospective. T h e majority of the artists in this catalogue exhibit their work for the first time in England. T h e representative nature of the exhibition has been brought about through the valuable assistance of many persons, to whom the Committee are greatly mdebted.

His Majesty King George has been graciously pleased not only to lend two pictures by Professor Tuxen, depicting the coronation of H . M . the late King Edward V I I and H . M . Queen Alexandra, but has also permitted them to be reproduced in the illustrated edition of the catalogue.

T h e Committee desire to record their grateful thanks to H e r Majesty Queen Alexandra and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark, who have been graciously pleased to accord their patronage to the exhibition, and have thus stamped it as being one of value and importance.

T o Consul-General Faber, who accepted the invitation of the Committee to become the Hon. President of the exhibition, all concerned are under a deep debt of gratitude, and it is only strict accuracy to say that, without Consul Faber's advice and practical help, the exhibition would never have been held. H e was my host on the visit which I paid to Copenhagen to make preliminary arrangements for the exhibition in November, 1911, and I have been in almost daily communication with him ever since.

Thanks are also due for the valuable work performed by the Committee of artists in Copenhagen, whose names are given on page 2. T o them was entrusted the delicate and important task of selecting the artists and objects for exhibition. They have performed their arduous duties with the sole aim of setting before the British public a thorough representation of modern Danish Art in all its phases. In thanking that Committee as a whole, special mention must be made of the work of its Chairman, Mr. J. F.

Willumsen.

While the majority of the exhibits have been sent by the artists, the Committee wish to acknowledge the obhgation under which they have been placed by the kindness of various Danish owners who have been good enough to lend their pictures, &c., for exhibition.

Unless a statement to the contrary is appended, the exhibits have been sent in by the artists themselves.

The introduction to th? catalogue has been written by Mr. Ch. A . Been, and the Committee desire to thank Mr. Been for his excellent exposition of the subject.

T h e exhibition poster is the w^ork of Mr. Valdemar Andersen, who also has several pictures and drawings in the exhibition. T h e Committee wish to place on record their indebtedness to Mr. Andersen.

Finally, thanks are due to Mr. Johannes Kragh, a member of the Danish Committee and an exhibitor, who was delegated by the Danish Committee to assist in the hanging and arrangement of the exhibition.

T h e Fine Arts Committee have decided to publish two editions of this catalogue : one without illustrations, and the other with a number of representations of some of the principal pictures in the exhibition. T h e portraits of Her Majesty Queen Alexandra and the Crown Prince of

Denmark, which appear in the catalogue, were specially chosen and auto- graphed by Her Majesty and His Royal Highness.

A s it is expected that a large number of Danish visitors will visit Brighton to see the exhibition, the introduction and the catalogue have been printed in both Danish and English.

A considerable number of the exhibits are for sale, and a priced catalogue may be consulted in the room. A deposit of 1 0 % must be made at the time of purchase. N o picture sold may be removed until the exhibition is closed and the balance paid.

The exhibition was opened on April 13th, 1912, by Consul-General Faber, at a Conversazione given to celebrate the occasion by the Mayor and Mayoress of Brighton (Alderman and Mrs. Thomas-Stanford), and will remain open until July 7th.

Hours of opening : Week-days, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2.30 p.m.

to 5 p.m. Admission free.

Copyright of all pictures, &c., in the exhibition, including those prmted in the catalogue, is strictly reserved.

In the illustrated edition of the catalogue, the portrait of H . M . Queen Alexandra is by Messrs. W . and D . Downey ; and that of H . R . H . the Crown Prince of Denmark, by Carl Sonne, Copenhagen. The remainder of the illustrations are from photographs by S. B. Hardcastle, Brighton.

All communications with reference to the exhibition, including requests for permission to reproduce any of the exhibits, should be made to the undersigned, at the Galleries.

Introduction.

D

While for long periods classicism gave character to Danish sculpture, its influence on the art of painting soon waned. From the year 1818 a national school of painting was created m our country mainly by the painter C . W . ECKERSBERG ( 1 7 8 3 - 1 8 5 3 ) and his gifted pupils, the most important aim of which was to give reality. Eckersberg himself was an excellent painter of portraits, a dehneator of architeclure with finely developed understanding, our first, and perhaps our best, painter of seascapes.

In this circle there was not much room for imagination, but instead of this its productions possessed a picturesque culture, which has not oniy caused them to be highly appreciated here in our country, but has increasingly attracted the attention of foreign countries. But in another respect we must be thankful to this national naturalistic school (which mostly looked for Ils subjects in its own country), m that it rather protected our art against the influence of the Diisseldorff school and German taste, which some time later in the century gave the art of pamtmg its character in the rest of the North.

A s the years passed, however, the national tendency lost its strength ; tradition changed into an academical conservatism, and the manner of painting grew conventional and without spirit. A n d , even though this period produced some remarkable artists, it was, by the end of the seventies, clear to the younger generation that it was highly necessary to go to foreign countries to obtain new ideas for their art.

Several artists then left for Paris ; but not before 1878, when LAURITZ TUXEN and PETER SEVERIN KROYER went there to study, did the tendency rapidly mcrease. In Paris they learned how to give their paintings a picturesque strength, a broad manner of dealing with pictures, a technique ful! of splendour and to give the influence of atmosphere to colour. W h e n

they returned other artists followed their example, and the literary change which had taken place some years before was thus followed by an artistic one. T h e character of naturalism changed into realism, the painting of nature and the time of the broad pencil brush had begun, and this tendency is still predominant in Danish art.

But, of course, other tendencies have arisen, and there are artists who have their own special methods. This exhibition only shows Danish art of recent years, and especially of the present time. T h e collection comprises works by our beél artiéls, but, unfortunately, they are not all represented.

PETER SEVERIN KROYER ( 1 8 5 1 - 1 9 0 9 ) is probably the best known of all Danish artiéts. Gifted with the higheél faculties, he is a virtuoso who, with the greatest facility, is master in many widely-differing subjecfts: large excellently composed paintings of groups, well executed portraits, paintings of national life, landscapes and seascapes. H e is the glad painter of sunshine as well as an eminent depicter of artificial light.

T h e little fishing village, " T h e Scaw," which is hidden by the sand between two seas on the most northerly point of Denmark, has been of great importance in modem Danish art. By the middle of the eighties the majority of the pioneers retired there and formed a colony of artists, which itill exiéts and grows. Michael and A n n a Ancher have their home there, and L . Tuxen his country house. Kroyer spent long periods of his life there, and his tomb is in the sand. A l l of them have in their art described the sea and its heroes, the fishermen—the same sea and the same men of whom Denmark's greateél poet, Holger Drachmann, at the same time sang in his poems.

T h e paintings of fishermen by MICHAEL ANCHER (b. 1 8 4 9 ) are ex- tremely virile and freshly painted and can be compared to a national epic, while his wife, A N N A ANCHER (b. 1859), with a fine instinct of colour, describes the home-Hfe of the people in their poor rooms. LAURITZ TUXEN (b. 1 8 5 3 ) is a technicist of the highest degree, a painter of feasts, who several times has been honoured by commands from the English, Russian and Danish Courts. O f younger artists, JOHANNES WILHJELM (b. 1 8 6 8 ) and G . CLÉMENT (b. 1 8 6 7 ) have made paintings from " T h e Scaw. " T h e last mentioned, however, does not belong to this group, although KNUD LARSEN (b. 1 8 6 5 ) and JENS V I G E ( 1 8 6 4 - 1 9 1 2 ) , who describe people in other parts of Jutland, are closely connected with it.

T H O R V A L D NISS ( 1 8 4 2 - 1 9 0 5 ) was one of the pioneers. His art is characterised by a peculiar freshness and boldness. H e usually paints land- scapes with trees damaged or blown down by the wind ; but his strange

genius is most distinctly shown in the few seascapes, where he depicts the sea on our coasts wildly lashed by the tempest.

In his descnption of Zeelandic people, L . A . RING (b. 1 8 5 7 ) is unsur- passed. O n e has only to see his painting, " T h e house is going to be whitewashed," to understand that there is the most intimate connection between the artist and his choice of subjects; the colour and drawing of Ring's paintings afe also characterised by his personality.

T h e Isle of Funen, the most fertile part of fertile Denmark, is the home of a younger circle of artists, who also belong to the realistic school.

r h e " F u n e n " school gives the pamting of nature in its highest degree, unspoiled and dauntless. T h e smell of earth is in their paintings, of which the colour is healthy and strong, and the movement of the brush fresh as a breeze from the sea. PETER HANSEN (b. 1 8 6 8 ) and JOHANNES LARSEN (b. 1 8 6 7 ) - (the last mentioned especially an excellent exponent of the life of birds)—belong to this group, which agam is, in a larger circle of artists, called " Zahrtmann's pupils."

W h a t " F a t h e r " Eckersberg was to the young painters in the period 1 8 2 0 - 1 8 5 0 , KRISTIAN ZAHRTMANN (b. 1 8 4 3 ) is in the present time to his pupils. H e himself is one of our most famous artists, with a temperament for painting like no one else. His paintings possess a glow of colour which often burns into flame ; their objects are given with an originality full of life, which at times borders on the peculiar. H e likes to take his subjects from history and to describe its Strange personalities. If he paints from nature he prefers the little Italian mountain village " Civita d'Antino," of which he is an admired freeman.

Like Zahrtmann, HANS NIK. HANSEN (b. 1 8 5 3 ) often chooses historical subjects. H e is an artist who is especially found m book illustrations and in a long series of etchings.

O n the whole there is in Denmark at the present time a group of typical artists at the height of their powers. T o this group belongs JOAKIM SKOVGAARD (b. 1 8 5 6 ) . From his father, an excellent and highly cultivated landscape painter, he inhented the best traditions of the old national school of painting, to which he added impressions received from old Greek and young Italian art, with which the originality of his own artistic impulses is so strongly connected. In his landscapes and his pictures dealing with daily life he is most naturalistic, but in his many pictures from the Bible he reaches a greatness of feeling and a height of decorative composition the like of which can only be found in the earliest fresco works of the Renaissance.

It is no exaggeration to say that, as regards the portrayal of objects in the

Bible, Joakim Skovgaard is one of the most famous masters of the present day. T h e Brighton Exhibition is far from giving an impression of his greatest faculties, the most glorious development of which is seen in the series of frescoes painted by him and his pupils in the old dome of Viborg in Jutland. Not only are these frescoes the most significant work of Joakim Skovgaard, but, for a long time, they will be praised as the predominant expression of Danish art.

JULIUS PAULSEN (b. 1 8 6 0 ) has a fine talent for painting, he is a virtuoso of the brush who can make colour vibrate like the strings of a musical instrument. H e is not only a master when he gives the mystical " clair obscur " of space, or paints naked bodies in a superior manner, but also as a landscape painter, where he is a poet as few before him. H e has not his equal in describing the last glitter of the sunset on the waves, or the purity of the summer sky in " t h e light nights." Finally he is—like HERMAN V E D E L (b. 1 8 7 5 ) — o n e of our best portrait painters.

For some time now VILHELM HAMMERSHOI (b. 1864) has had his admirers in England. His art is well-known nearly all over the world.

Last summer in the great International Exhibition at Rome he was one of the few artists who obtained the highest pnze of the exhibition. Hammershoi's discreet choice of colours harmonises well with the old-fashioned type of room which he usually paints.

In EINAR NIELSENS (b. 1872) paintings, the same absence of bright colours is found, together with a style which approaches asceticism. H e paints usually the most miserable figures—poor and ill, blind and cripples, whom he depicts with a realism which is in strange contrast to the simplicity of the compositions.

N . V . DORPH'S (b. 1 8 6 2 ) pictures are characterised by the same attempts to escape naturalistic description. His large portrait of the painter Willumsen and his wife shows his great faculty for monumental composition.

In his sympathetic pictures of landscape he also gives a beautiful decorative effect. His wife, BERTHA DORPH (b. 1 8 7 5 ) , is also popular as a portrait painter—her portraits of children bemg great favourites with the public.

In 1890 a split took place in the society of Danish artists—a group of painters loving liberty broke away and started their own exhibition under the name of " T h e Free Exhibition," in contrast to the official exhibition held in the Royal Academy of Arts of Copenhagen. Several artists above- mentioned belong to this "Secession," and JoHAN ROHDE (b. 1856), is one of its most important members. W i t h the abhorrence of a romanticist of all that is banal, he usually searches for subjects whose characteristics are those

of bygone times, as for example, the narrow streets and low houses of the old royal residence, R i b e ; the charming picturesque canals of Copenhagen, or the little island in the North Sea, Fano, where the women still wear the beautiful old national dress.

T h e landscape painter VLGGO PEDERSEN (b. 1 8 5 4 ) and the highly developed colourist LUDVIG FIND (b. 1 8 6 9 ) also belong to this group. T h e

" impressionism" m the manner of the painting of the last mentioned is united With a grace and genius which has made him specially popular in his pictures of children.

O f all modem artists, however, J. F. WILLUMSEN (b. 1863) is the one who has broken tradition with the most courage and obstinacy. W h e n he exhibited his " symbolic " paintings at the first " f r e e " exhibition, he baffled all previously known ideas of painting, and an excitement was aroused, the like of which has never been known before or since in the history of Danish art. It is true that the character of his art has latterly < hanged, but it is still unlike that of anyone else. Alone, and free from all influences, he con- tmually occupies himself with new problems or deals with well-known subjects, such as the sea and mountains, with an originality as if they were then being painted for the first time. Like the artists of the Renaissance, Willumsen is very versatile. H e has worked as an architect and as a sculptor, whilst as a ceramic artist he has ihe honour of having increased the fame of Danish porcelain all over the world. Everything created by him bears the stamp of his originality.

T h e collection of Danish sculpture in the exhibition is not a large one, and only gives small-sized objects, but this does not prove that our art of sculpture does not grow, or is not able successfully to grapple with big problems. It was not without meanmg that Thorvaldsen was born in Copenhagen, or that his beautiful mausoleum has been placed in his museum m that town. In addition, much influence has been created by the fine collection of ancient and modern sculpture from all countries found in the N y Carlsberg Glyptotek, which was founded by the brewer C A R L JACOBSEN with the liberality of a prince.

Amongst the sculptors, only A . W . SAABYE (b. 1 8 2 3 ) and L . HASSELRIIS (b. 1 8 4 4 ) belong to the older generation ; all the others are either quite young or in the prime of their manhood. LUDVIG BRANDSTRUP (b. 1 8 6 1 ) is the master of a series of fine busts ; while imagination is predominant in the figures and groups of ANDERS BUNDGAARD (b. 1 8 6 4 ) and N . HANSEN- JACOBSEN (b. 1 8 6 1 ) . C A R L BONNESEN (b. 1 8 6 8 ) and Mrs. ANNE M A R I E

CARL-NIELSEN (b. 1 8 6 3 ) are especially excellent with animals. SIEGFRIED W A G N E R (b. 1 8 7 4 I ; OLIVIA H O L M - M O L L E R (b. 1 8 7 5 ) , and EINAR U T Z O N - FRANK (b. 1888) show in their works that they have been influenced by Archaic-Greek and young Italian plastic art ; and EDITH WILLUMSEN (b. 1 8 7 5 ) shows a great talent in her statuettes, which remind one of art in wax of a bygone age.

Finally ROHL-SMITH (b. 1 8 4 8 - 9 9 ) who lived in America, has, in his bust of Henry George, given a portrait of one of the most famous men of modern limes.

T h e exhibition has been added to by a small coilection of drawings and black and white art, together with a series of the well-known porcelain from the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory, and the works of Messrs.

Bmg and Grondahl.

Owing to unfortunate circumstances, the Danish Exhibition in Brighton is not so rich or so good as it could and ought to have been, but we hope that it is able to prove that Denmark is not only a pioneer in agriculture and (as has been recently proved) ship-building, but also fllls with honour its own place in the world of art. Denmark has always met with sympathy in England ; we sincerely hope to find it again in sending this selection of our art across the sea.

KUNFL

ligesom mange andre Landes Kunst fransk af Væsen og Snit; men ved Aarhundredets Slutning var Danmark et af de Lande, hvis Kunstnere gik forrent i Kampen for de ny Ideer. Saavel Billedhuggeren JOHANNES WIEDEWELT ( 1 7 3 1 - 1 8 0 2 ) , Maleren NIKOLAI A B R A H A M ABILDGAARD ( 1 7 4 3 - 1 8 0 9 ) og Tegneren JACOB ASMUS CARSTENS ( 1 7 5 4 -

1798) var begejstrede Foregangsmænd for Klassicismen, der siden i Billedhuggeren BERTEL T HORVALDSEN ( 1 7 7 0 - 1 8 4 4 ) fik sm verdensberomte Repræsentant.

Medens Klassicismen for lange Tider satte sit Præg paa Danmarks Billedhuggerkunst, blev dens Magt over Malerkunsten hurtig svækket. M e d Maleren C . W . ECKERSBERG ( 1 7 8 3 - 1 8 5 3 ) og hans talentfulde Elever fik nemlig vort Land fra Aaret 1818 en national Malerskole, hvis hojeste Lov var at gengive Virkeligheden med ubrødelig Ærlighed og Troskab.

Eckersberg selv var en udmærket Portrætmaler, en fint forSlaaende Skildrer af Arkitektur, vor forste og maaske ogsaa vor bedste Somaler. Der var i denne Kreds ikke megen Plads for Fantasien, men til Gengæld ejer dens Virkeligheds Skildringer en malerisk Kultur, der ikke blot har gjort dem hojtskattede herhjemme, men i Sligende Grad har fanget Udlandets Opmærksomhed. M e n ogsaa i den Henseende har denne nationale naturalistiske Skole, der gærne sogte sine Æ m n e r i Landet selv, Krav paa vor Taknemmelighed, at den saa nogenlunde skærmede vor KunSl mod den

Indflydelse af Diisseldorff er Skolen og tysk Smag, der noget senere i A a r - hundredet prægede Malerkunsten i det ovrige Norden.

Som Aarene gik, mistede dog den nationale Retning efterhaanden sin Kraft ; Traditionen Stivnede til en akademisk-Konservatisme, og Malemaaden blev aandlos glat og konventionel. O g selv om ogsaa denne Periode frem- bragte et Par KunStnere af Rang, blev det ved 7 0 arnes Slutning klart for de unge, at det var paa hoje Tid at soge til Udlandet for at skaffe KunSten nyt Blod.

Flere KunStnere sogte da ogsaa til Paris ; men forSt fra 1878, da LAURITZ TUXEN og PETER SEVERIN KROYER drog derhen og gav sig i Lære, fik Bevægelsen Fart. D e lærte i Paris at give deres Billeder malerisk Styrke, lærte bred Behandling og en glansfuld Teknik, lærte at gengive

Atmosfærens Indvirkning paa Farven. D a de var vendte hjem, fulgte andre Kunstnere Eksemplet, og det litterære Gennembrud, der havde fundet Sted nogle A a r forinden, fik derved et kunstnerisk i Folge. Naturalismen fik Karakter af Realisme, Friluftsmaleriets og den brede Pensels T i d var inde ; endnu er denne Retning herskende i dansk Malerkunst.

M e n naturligvis har ogsaa andre Retninger sogt at bryde sig Vej, ligesom vi ejer KunSlnere, der kun folger deres eget Hoved.

Det er alene dansk Nutidskunst, væsentligst fra de sidSle A a r , som denne Udstilling viser. En Række af vore bedste KunStriere er repræsen- terede, desværre dog ikke alle.

PETER SEVERIN KROYER ( 1 8 5 1 - 1 9 0 9 ) er vel den videSt kendte af danske Malere. Glimrende udruSlet, er han Virtuosen, der legende let meStrer de forskelligste Emner, snart Store, ypperligt komponerede Gruppe- billeder eller mesterligt opfattede Portræter, snart Folkelivsbilleder, Landskaber og Mariner. H a n er Solskinnets glade Maler, men ogsaa en eminent Skildrer af kunSligt Lys.

Den lille Fiskerby Skagen, der midt imellem to H a v e ligger gemt i Sandet paa Danmarks nordligste Pynt, har spillet en vigtig Rolle i moderne dansk KunSlliv. Herop sogte ved Firsernes Midte de fleSle af Gennembru- dets M æ n d og dannede en Kunstnerkoloni, der Stadig beStaar og oges. H e r har Michael og A n n a Ancher deres Hjem, her har L . Tuxen sin Sommerbolig, her levede Kroyer i lange Perioder af sit Liv, her har han sin Grav i Sandet. A l l e har de i deres Kunst skildret Havet og dets Helte, Fiskerne,—det samme H a v og de samme Mænd, som samtidig Danmarks storste Digter Holger Drachmann besang i sine Digte.

MICHAEL ANCHERS (f. 1 8 4 9 ) Fiskerbilleder, mandigt opfattede og djærvt malte, danner ligesom et nationalt Epos, medens hans Hustru, A N N A ANCHER (f. 1 8 5 9 ) med fint koloristisk Instinkt skildrer Befolkningens Hjemmeliv i de fattige Stuer. LAURITZ TUXEN (f. 1 8 5 3 ) er en Tekniker af Rang, en FeSternes Maler, der gentagne Gange har modtaget ærefulde Bestillinger fra det engelske, russiske og danske H o f . A f yngre KunSlnere har JOHANNES WILHJELM (f. 1 8 6 8 ) og G . CLEMENT (f. 1 8 6 7 ) malet Skagensbilleder. Den sidSte tilhorer dog ikke denne Gruppe, hvorimod KNUD LARSEN (f. 1 8 6 5 ) og JENS VIGE ( 1 8 6 4 - 1 9 1 2 ) , der skildrer Almuen i andre Egne af Jylland, staar den nær.

T H O R V A L D NISS ( 1 8 4 2 - 1 9 0 5 ) horte til Gennembrudets Mænd. En ejendommelig Friskhed og Djærvhed præger hans Kunst. H a n maler mest Landskaber med forblæste eller væltede T r æ e r ; men hans mærkelige, geniale Æ v n e r kommer dog stærkest til deres R e t i hans faa Marinebilleder,

naar lian fremfliller Havet om vore Kyfter uhyggeligt pisket og jaget af Uvejret.

I L . A . RING (f. 1854) har den sjællandske Almue en uforlignelig ærlig Skildrer. M a n behover blot at se hans Billede af " Huset skal hvidtes" for at forstaa, at der er den intimeste Forbindelse mellem Kunflneren og hans Æmnekreds. Ogsaa i Farve og Tegning bærer Rings Billeder Personlighedens Præg.

For en yngre Kunstnerkreds, der ogsaa tilhorer Realismen, er 6 e n FYN, den frugtbarere Del af Danmarks frugtbare Land, HjemSledet eller Værkstedet.

Den fynske Skole dyrker Friluftsmaleriet i hojeSte Potens, uforfærdet og ufordærvet. Der mærkes ligesom en Duft af Muld fra deres Billeder, hvor Farven er sund og stærk og Penselforingen frisk som en Brise fra Havet.

PETER HANSEN (f. 1 8 6 8 ) og JOHANNES LARSEN (f. 1 8 6 7 ) , -den sidste er navnlig en ypperlig Skildrer af Fuglelivet,—tilhorer denne Gruppe, der atter rummes indenfor en storre Kunstnerkreds, kaldet " Zahrtmanns Elever."

H v a d " F a d e r " Eckersberg var for de unge Malere i Tiden 1 8 2 0 - 1 8 5 0 , er i vore Dage KRISTIAN ZAHRTMANN (f. 1 8 4 3 ) for sine Elever. Selv er han en af vore ftoréle Kunstnere, et malerisk Temperament som ingen anden.

Hans Billeder ejer en Farvens Glod, der tidt slaar ud i lys Lue ; deres Æ m n e r er opfattede med en livfuld Originalitet, der kan streife det bizarre.

Sit Stof soger han gærne i Historien og hos dens mærkeligste Skikkelser.

Maler han ude i det Frie, er det helst i den lille itahenske Bjærgby "Civita d'Antino," hvis beiindrede Æresborger han er.

Nogen Lighed med Zahrtmann i Valg af historiske Æ m n e r har HANS NIK. HANSEN (f. 1853), en Kunstner, hvis Fantasi især har givet sig Udtryk i Bogillustrationer og i en lang Række Raderinger.

Overhovedet ejer Danmark i Ojeblikket en Række udpræget personlige KunSlnere, der staar i deres fulde Kraft. Til disse horer forst og fremmest JOAKIM SKOVGAARD (f. 1856). Fra sin Fader, en udmærket og hojtkultiveret Landskabsmaler, havde han modtaget den gamle, natiofiale Malerskoles bedste Egenskaber i A r v ; men hertil fojede han senere Paavirkning af gammel græsk og tidlig italiensk KunSl, med hvilken Oprin- deligheden i hans eget kunstneriske Væsen er saa forunderligt i Slægt. 1 sine Landskaber og Skildringer af Dagliglivet er han nærmest Naturalist, men i sine mange bibelske Billeder hæver han sig til en Folelsens Storhed og en Kompositionens dekorative Vælde, at man maa soge til Renæssancens tidligste Freskoværker for at finde noget sideordnet. Det er næppe for meget sagt, at paa den kirkelige KunSts Omraade er Joakim Skovgaard en af Tidens storSle MeSlre. Brighton-UdSlillingen giver desværre langtfra Indtrykket af hans Skaberævne, der har naaet sin skonneste Udfoldelse i den Række Fresker, hvormed han (og hans Elever) har smykket den ældgamle

Domkirke i Viborg i Jylland. D e er ikke blot Joakim Skovgaards horste Bedrift ; de vil for lange Tider blive prist som Kæmpeværket i dansk Kun^l.

Et ^lort malerisk Talent er J u L i u s PAULSEN (f. 1860), en Penselens Virtuos, der faar Farven til at vibrere som et Strygeinstruments Strenge.

H a n er ikke blot en Mester i Gengivelsen af Rummets myéliske " clair obscur," en overlegen Maler af nogne Legemer, men ogsaa som Landskabs- maler en Lyriker som faa. Ingen kan som han skildre Solnedgangens sidéle Flimmer i Bolgerne eller Sommerhimmelens Skærhed i " de lyse Nætter."

Sluttelig er han en Menneskeskildrer af Rang og horer—ligesom HERMAN VEDEL (f. 1875)—til vore meft sogte Portrætmalere.

VILHELM HAMMERSHOI (f. 1864) ejer fra tidligere Tid Beundrere i England. Hans Kunfl er nu godt paa V e j e mod Verdensberommelsen, siden han 1 Sommer paa den Store, internationale Udstilling i Rom var mellem de faa udvalgte KunSlnere, der fik tilkendt Udstillingens hojeSle Pris. Der er i Hammershøis diskrete Farvevalg en Stilfærdighed, som passer saa godt til de gammeldags Stilfulde Stuer, han fortrinsvis maler. M e n ogsaa i hans Portræler, Figurbilleder og Landskaber virker Farvernes Fred og Fylde velgorende paa Sindet som skon og dæmpet Musik.

Den samme Sky for Stojende Farver men forenet med en Stilisering, der nærmer sig Askesen, finder man i EINAR NIELSENS (f. 1 8 7 2 ) Billeder.

H a n maler gerne de troStesloseSte Skikkelser : Fattige og syge, blinde og Kroblinge, som han skildrer med en Realisme i Opfattelsen, der danner saa mærkelig en KontraSt til Kompositionens fofnemme Enkelthed.

Den samme Stræben bort fra en naturalistisk Gengivelse, udmærker N . V . DORPHS (f. 1 8 6 2 ) Billeder. Hans Portræt af Filologen 1. L . Heiberg er et godt Exempel paa hans KunSt med dens Stilfulde Noblesse i Tegning og Farve, og hans Store Portræt af Maleren Willumsen og HuStru viser hans sjældne Anlæg for en monumental Komposition. Ogsaa i sine landskabelige Stemningsbilleder opnaar han ofte en smuk dekorativ Virkning.

Hans HuSlru BERTHA DORPH (f. 1 8 7 5 ) er ogsaa en Stilfuld Menneskeskil- drer ; hendes Botneportræter horer til Publikums Yndlingsbilleder.

1 Aaret 1 8 9 0 skete der en Spaltning indenfor det danske Kunstnersam- fund, idet en Kreds af frisindede Malere brod ud og aabnede deres egen Udstilling, der i Modsætning til den officielle og mere konservative Udstilling i det kgl. Kunstakademi i Kobenhavn fik Navn af " Den frie Udstilling."

Flere af de ovenfor omtalte Kunstnere tilhorer denne " Secession," og til dens bedste Folk horer desuden J o H A N R O H D E (f. 1856), der, med en Romantikers Sky for det banale, gærne soger Æmner, der endnu bærer Præg af svundne Tiders Skonhed, som f. Eks. den gamle Kongeby Ribe's snævre Gader og lave Huse, Kobenhavns malerisk skonne Kanaler eller den

lille Vesterhavso Fano, hvor Kvinderne endnu bærer den smukke gamle Nationaldragt. Til Gruppen horer ogsaa den temperamentsfulde Land- skabsmaler VIGGO PEDERSEN (f. 1 8 3 4 ) , og den fintkultiverede Kolorist LUDVIG FIND (f. 1 8 6 9 ) , hvis Impressionisme i Behandlingen forenes med en Y n d e og Elskværdighed i Opfattelsen, der navnlig har gjort ham populær som Bornenes Skildrer.

D o g af alle moderne danske Kunstnere er J. F. WlLLUMSEN (f. 1863) den, der modigst og trodsigst har brudt Traditionen. D a han paa den forste fri Udstilling udstillede sine "symbolistiske" Billeder, der trodsede alle gængse Forestillinger om Malerkunst, vakte de et Rore, til hvilket dansk Kunstliv hverken for eller senere har kendt Mage. Ganske vist har hans Kunst siden skiftet Karakter; men den ligner dog ingen andens. Ensom og upaavirkelig sysler han stadig med nye Problemer eller behandler gammelkendte Æ m n e r , som Havet og Bjærgene, med en Oprindelighed, som skildredes de for foréte Gang. Som Renæssancens Kunflnere er Willumsen alsidig. Han har virket som Arkitekt og som Billedhugger, og som Keramiker har han Æ r e n af at have bidraget til det Ry, dansk Porcelæn nyder Verden over. Paa alt hvad han har skabt, har han sat sin Originalitets dybe Stempel.

Det Udvalg af dansk Billedhuggerkunst, der ses paa Udstillingen, er jo kun lille og omfatter mest mindre Skulpturer. M e n det betyder ikke, at ikke hos os Billedhuggerkunsten trives og magter de store Opgaver. Ikke for intet stod THORVALDSENS Vugge i Kobenhavn, ikke for intet fik han her i sit Museum sit skonne Mausoleum. M e n ogsaa de rige Samlinger af gammel og moderne Skulptur fra alle Lande, som rummes i det af Brygger C A R L JACOBSEN med fyrstelig Gavmildhed oprettede N y Carlsberg Glyptotek har ovet sin befrugtende Indflydelse.

A f Billedhuggerne tilhbrer kun A . W . SAABYE (f. 1823) og L . HASSELRIIS 0 . 1844) de ældres Kreds ; alle de andre er enten ganske unge eller flair i deres fulde Kraft. LUDVIG BRANDSTRUP (f. 1861) er Mefleren for en Række aandfuldt fornemme Bufler, medens ANDERS BUNDGAARD (f. 1864) og N . HANSEN-JACOBSEN (f. 1861) i deres Figurer og Grupper lader Fantasien raade. C A R L BONNESEN (f. 1868) og Fru A N N E M A R I E CARL-NIELSEN (f. 1863) er navnlig udmærkede Skildrere af Dyr. SIEGFRIED W A G N E R (f. 1874), OLIVIA H O L M - M O L L E R (f. 1875) og UTZON FRANK (f. 1888) har 1 deres Arbejder paa personlig Vis optaget Paavirkning af arkaisk-græsk og tidlig italiensk Piaflik, og EDITH WILLUMSEN (f. 1875), har med Talent i sine Statuetter genopdyrket tidligere Tiders Voksteknik.

Sluttelig har ROHL-SMITH ( 1 8 4 8 - 1 8 9 9 ) , der var bosat i Amerika, i sin Bufle af Henry Qeorge gengivet en af vor Tids beromtefle M æ n d .

Til Udstillingen er fojet et mindre Udvalg af Tegninger og grafisk Kunil samt en Række af de verdenskendte Porcelæner fra den l^ongelige Porcelænsfabrik og Bing & GrUndahls Fabrik i Kobenhavn.

Den danske Udélilling i Brighton er ved Forholdenes UgunSt ikke bleven saa rig og saa god, som den kunde og burde være. M e n forhaabentlig vil den dog være i Stand til at vise, at Danmark ikke blot er et Foregangs- land paa Landbrugets og nu sidét paa Skibsbygningens Omraade, men ogsaa med Æ r e indtager sin Plads i Kunstens Verden. Danmark har altid modt ForStaaelse i England ; maatte vi atter mode den, nu da vi sender dette Udvalg af vor KunSl over Havet.
