Anne Skole Overgaard:

In the garden door. The artist's wife. Karrebæksminde. After L. A. Ring

Pencil on paper 191 x 144 cm, 2012

 

With pencil, Anne Skole Overgaard has copied the painting by L. A. Ring "In the garden door. The artist's wife. Karrebæksminde." from 1897.

By copying the painting today, she plays with ideas of gender and how works often are interpreted with the artist's life as starting point.

This discussion was also raised by the original, because the artist's wife looks pregnant in the painting, but their first child was born 2 years later.

L. A. Ring often painted humans on the edge between two rooms and two states.
