Marie kröyer och hugo alfven

The Skagen Painters might not sound familiar but their work might. Unclear; but Marie is in Sicily and she meets up with the musician Hugo Alfvén. So then I started thinking Marie and Hugo already knew each other at this point of the story, they probably ran in the same circles. Painters liked to capture the “en plein air” which is of people just livin’ it up in nature.

But what it tells me is that Wegmanns, our beloved grocery store, probably has Danish roots.

Norgerie: Ok listen to this.

Marie Krøyer och P.S. Krøyer: "Dubbelporträtt" 1890, olja på duk 15x18,7 cm, Skagens Museum. Think of it as a still life but with people. I’m not sure if she wanted to be famous or well known and respected among her peers.

We have a lot to overcome… what sense does it really make for me to paint, I will never ever achieve greatness. Om man anser att gränsen mellan naturalism och modernt måleri överskrids när det avbildades preferens överges och måleriet självt sätts i första rummet, får ett halvdussin mindre målningar som hänger där, sägas ha en modern prägel.

It almost sounds like it was to be well known. That left her feeling despair, cause it felt out of her control.

Lizi: I’m so sad that she felt that way since it sounds like her work was significant and worth us learning about. Hugo och Anna var inte gifta ens ett år, innan han avled på Falu lasarett den 8 maj 1960.

Senare hade Anna Alfvén en aktiv roll i bevarandet av Hugo Alfvens minne och inte minst öppnandet av Alfvéngården i Tibble 1962.

I hope she was able to find some hope in the darkness to help her keep going.

Jessica: I really have to admire Marie’s vulnerability and her courage to share those feelings. How old was she at this point?

Norgerie: She must have been around 18 when she started the school revolution! 

Lizi: Wow that’s pretty badass to start your own school at 18. 

Jessica: That is so cool, but what exactly did they do?

She lived frustrated that she never achieved the recognition she knew she deserved only because she was a woman.

Hennes slutroll i Skagenblev den förrymda hustruns. Peder struggled with mental health issues and Marie suffered from postpartum depression . 

Jessica: oh noo

Lizi: oh no. Excited to visit a new country!

 Jessica: Agreed - we are off to Denmark

Norgerie: Yea!

Today, Frederiksberg is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Denmark, and it's considered an affluent area. Dalarapsodi (1931) var t ex inspirerad av orsalåtar.

Hugo Alfvén träffade sin första hustru Marie i Skagen år 1904.
