"Moon Evening, Lighthouse," Anna Ancher, 1904.
Now considered one of Denmark's greatest artists, Ancher (1859-1935) was one of the Skagen art colony, and the only one there actually born in Skagen.
Skagen is a coastal village in Denmark that became home to an artists' colony that developed their own style, known as the Skagen School. It mixes Impressionism with Realism and touches of Expressionism and other modern works. It's hard to pin down but deserves to be better known outside of Denmark. Every painting I see from the Skagen School I've liked.
Ancher was known for her loving depictions of the environment of her home, and the everyday life of both the artists and the fishermen and laborers who lived there. At a time when (in Denmark) it was unusual for women to work as artists, she had a thriving and acclaimed career. Her home in Skagen is now a museum dedicated mostly to the art of her and her husband, and other Skagen artists.
From a private collection.

"Red Hollyhocks in the Garden," Anna Ancher, 1916.
Ancher (1859-1935) is considered one of Denmark's finest artists. She was one of the leading figures of the Skagen school, a group of artists who gathered in the fishing village of Skagen, turning it into an artists' colony.
The Skagen artists loved plein air painting, rejected the academic formality of the Danish art establishment, and worked in a style that mixed Impressionism with Realism and sometimes dashes of Expressionism. Skagen artists, and especially Ancher, usually portrayed everyday life and natural scenes, and eschewed historical, religious, and allegorical painting.
Ancher is also something of a feminist icon, a woman who rejected social pressure to simply be a wife and mother to continue working and being a prominent and trailblazing artist. She became an example and inspiration to other Danish women seeking to form a place in the world.
Her home is now a museum, and she has been featured on Danish currency. And learn more about the Skagen artists...they're cool.
Happy Flower Friday!
