Danmarks Malerkunst;

Been, Ch. A, Hannover, Emil, 1864-1923 · 1902 · København: Det Nordiske Forlag · 34 pictures

Danmarks Malerkunst is a 1902 Copenhagen survey of Danish painting, compiled by Ch. A. Been and Emil Hannover and published by Det Nordiske Forlag for a general art-reading audience. Its plates reproduce paintings by Danish artists as halftone photographs, several printed sideways on the page. The interiors, rural landscapes, and genre scenes of peasant and domestic life offer a designer compositional reference for dark tonal palettes, figure placement in doorways, and low horizon fields.
