{"product_id":"9783775763806","title":"Vilhelm Hammershøi. Painter of Quiet Sound","description":"Vilhelm Hammershøi is considered one of the most fascinating artists around 1900. With a sparse visual language and a reduced color palette, he created interiors that, in their focus on the essential, possess an overwhelming poetic charm. People rarely appear in his paintings, and if they do, they are shown from behind or engrossed in everyday activities. For the first time, this text explores the role of sound in Hammershøi's pictorial worlds. The painter himself played the cello, and musical instruments are a recurring subject in his compositions. The subtitle \"Painter of Silent Sound\" only superficially describes a paradox. For as \"silent\" as the paintings may seem at first glance, it is a silence akin to the concentrated calm immediately before a concert begins. A silence that demands our attention and invites us to listen – thus revealing a completely new side to Hammershøi's art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916) is considered the most important representative of Danish interior painting. At the time of his death, he was a widely celebrated painter – his admirers included Rainer Maria Rilke and Emil Nolde. Later, his work outside his homeland increasingly fell into oblivion until he was 'rediscovered' throughout Europe a good hundred years later. To this day, his monochrome interiors, in whose meditative stillness a subtle play of light and shadow unfolds, continue to impress.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-6380-6)","offer_id":57796805886216,"sku":"9783775763806","price":36.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-6394-3)","offer_id":57796805918984,"sku":"9783775763943","price":28.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-6395-0)","offer_id":57796805951752,"sku":"9783775763950","price":28.56,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775763806.jpg?v=1779526100","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/9783775763806","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
