Ivar Arosenius Swedish, 1878-1909

Recently rediscovered 17th-century drawing by Bernardo Strozzi and select sheets by the French artist Gustave Doré,

In a display comprising thirty-two works (some available for purchase), visitors can explore Arosenius' marvellous blend of fantasy and sharp humour, innocence, and decadence.

His creative idiom was a mixture of deliberate and intuitive strategies. Virtuosity lay in refraining from complicated effects. The entire broad spectrum of emotions is embedded in his shimmering colours and winding lines. From anger and anxiety to happiness and tenderness, as experienced at some point by every strongly beating heart.
