New exhibition: Most Lovely at Dusk

Opening Saturday September 21

The name of this exhibition is from the first line of a poem by Pär Lagerkvist in 1919, which captures a key aspect of Nordic painting at the turn of the century, when dusk and dawn were popular themes in all forms of art. This fascination for the singular Nordic light is reflected in Ernest and Signe Maria Thiel’s art collection, which is dominated by symbolist and national romantic mood paintings of landscapes, often from the home regions of the artists.
