Fanny Churberg

Talvimaisema, iltarusko

Fanny Churberg's (1845-1892) way of seeing nature was very different from the conventional Düsseldorf idyll. I have looked at the sultry heat - at the calm before a storm - at the whole of nature so glowingly fresh and tranquil (a picture of love). For Fanny Churberg nature was a battlefield for the never-ending struggle of powerful emotions and atmospheres. Nature was something altogether too great for man to have any part in it. Man in Churberg's landscapes, on the rare occasions that he is included, is a trivial, meaningless part of a great whole.  [NEXT PAGE]
