Keywords: Frukostdags.jpg Artwork creator Hanna Pauli langswitch To this day Hanna Hirsch-Pauli s painting Breakfast - Time from 1887 is still able to trigger feelings of intense sensual pleasure from our visitors We truly feel invited; it is just like our very own breakfast ritual The chairs are waiting for us and we can almost feel how the heavy teapot tilts as we lift it The table which is laid with beautiful objects gives associations to family life and domesticity The image shows a corner of reality where the bourgeois dining room has been removed to the garden This is an open-air painting suffused with light The subject is dappled with reflections that give the objects a suggestive shimmer It is a juste-milieu painting being at once anchored in the classicist tradition with its linear perspective but also inspired by the way the Impressionists depicted light with colour Like many Swedish artists at the time Hanna Hirsch-Pauli studied in Paris and exhibited at the Salon The use of light the lively brushstrokes and the thickly applied paint outraged several Swedish critics at the time They saw her technique as slipshod and one critic meant that the flecks of light on the table cloth were probably the result of the artist wiping her own brushes on it In the late 1880s Breakfast - Time played a major role in Hanna Hirsch-Pauli s breakthrough as an artist Already an accomplished colourist as we can see she went on to develop those skills in her portrait painting Ăn idag lyckas Hanna Paulis mĂ„lning Frukostdags frĂ„n 1887 förmedla en kĂ€nsla av sensuell livsglĂ€dje till vĂ„ra besökare Man kĂ€nner sig inbjuden det kĂ€nns som min frukoststund Stolen vĂ€ntar pĂ„ mig och jag kan kĂ€nna hur tekannan vickar nĂ€r man lyfter den Det uppdukade bordet som Ă€r fyllt av vackra föremĂ„l skall ge associationer till familjeliv och hemtrevnad Bilden visar ett utsnitt av verkligheten dĂ€r den borgerliga matsalen flyttats ut i naturen Det Ă€r en Ă€r en friluftsmĂ„lning som Ă€r genomsyrad av ljus Motivet Ă€r upplöst av ljusreflexer som ger föremĂ„len ett suggestivt skimmer Det Ă€r en medelvĂ€gens mĂ„lning som delvis Ă€r förankrad i den klassiska traditionen med dess tydliga rumsuppfattning men som Ă€ven inspirerats av impressionisternas sĂ€tt att skildra ljuset med fĂ€rg Likt mĂ„nga svenska konstnĂ€rer studerade Hanna Pauli i Paris vid den hĂ€r tiden och hon stĂ€llde Ă€ven ut pĂ„ Salongen Ljusbehandlingen den livliga penselskriften och de delvis pastost pĂ„lagda fĂ€rgfĂ€lten upprörde flera samtida svenska kritiker Man sĂ„g hennes teknik som slarvig och en kritiker antog att ljusflĂ€ckarna pĂ„ bordsduken berodde pĂ„ att konstnĂ€ren sjĂ€lv torkat sina penslar pĂ„ den Frukostdags spelade en stor roll i Hanna Paulis genombrott i slutet pĂ„ 1880-talet Hon var som vi kan se redan dĂ„ en skicklig kolorist nĂ„got som hon sedan utvecklade i sitt portrĂ€ttmĂ„leri 1887 Oil on canvas cm 87 91 Nationalmuseum Stockholm object history Stockholm exhibition history credit line accession number 18709 NM 1705 Nationalmuseum Stockholm image PD-Art PD-old-auto 1940 Sweden Uploaded with UploadWizard Breakfast in art 1887 Table settings 1887 1887 paintings Hanna Pauli Swedish paintings in the Nationalmuseum Stockholm |
