He has a very nice style. I like how realistic all the people look, both in how he drew them and the shapes of their bodies.

I love that too! I love pear shapes and B-shaped hips, and poky bellies are my favorite ;-)

These are stunning, they almost look like photographs. ♥

Just... wow.
I tried to pick out some of my favourites but it's too hard. I like them all so much! Thanks for sharing.

I KNOW! It was hard for me even to trim it down to this many, I love pretty much every nude ze's ever done!

you are most welcome ;-)

I'm always thrilled when someone appreciates the work of a Swedish painter - so many people think art can only come from France or Italy!

Lovely paintings. Thank you for sharing. :) I haven't seen Zorn's creations since art class a few years ago!

hee hee, what got me was -- it looks so WARM in these! Does it really get that warm in Sweden?

you are most welcome! I love Zorn's style so much.

Like in the US, it depends on where you are - at the right place at the right time, summer (and spring and autumn, too) can be very, very warm indeed. :)

I love Zorn's focus on pear shapes! Other than Zorn and Renoir, most painters I know tend to focus on hourglass or overall-slim shapes. ;-) I have quite a collection of curvy-woman painters to share -- I was trying to rotate between different types of art but I think I'll focus on traditional painting for a while ;-)
