The artist Eugène Jansson (1862-1915) was a pioneer of modern painting, active in the years around the turn of the century 1900. He helped to bring Nordic atmospheric painting to an appreciative world. His reputation as an innovator in the genre has only grown stronger in recent years. His paintings are part of a cultural heritage that will be highlighted in a major exhibition at Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde. In connection with the exhibition, the department wishes to publish a catalog with new research written by the museum's first curator Göran Söderlund and Dr. Patrik Steorn. Major works on Eugène Jansson's art have been published in 1920 and 1997. The museum's intention is to highlight Eugène Jansson's oeuvre in its entirety, with an emphasis on the atmospheric Stockholm paintings, when Jansson came to be known as "The Blue Painter", but also the final period of his work, which began in 1905. This period focused on the naked male body and figure painting with sailor balls and circus motifs. Only in 1907 did he dare to show these works in an exhibition context. These paintings were probably not appreciated by his contemporaries, but over the years they have gained all the more recognition and deserve a detailed presentation.
