註釋Focuses on a motif that fascinates, infuriates and embraces the very big questions of existence. The catalog accompanies the Skagen Museum and the Hirschsprung Collection's exhibition of the same name, where major works by e.g. Edvard Munch, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Christian Krohg and Anna Ancher help to explore the question: Why did the sick girl become a widespread motif among artists in the Nordic countries between 1850 and 1900? The catalog presents a motif that lets the contrasts meet. For the sick girl is not just a sick girl. As a motif, she embraces the boundaries between healthy and sick, life and death, togetherness and isolation, life outside and inside. She appeared among both well-known and unknown artists of the period and shared the waters: some reviewers called the motif depressing, while others praised its strength and unforgettability. The catalog contains Mette Bøgh Jensen's peer-reviewed article 'Illness, sentimentality and sympathy - sick girl in Nordic art 1850-1900. Exhibition: Skagens Museum, Denmark (08.05.-05.09.2021) / Hirschsprung Collection, Copenhagen, Denmark (24.09.2021 - 09.01.2022).
