FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART’S CATALOG

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, "Hammershøi is not one of those artists that one needs to talk about quickly. His work is long and slow and at whatever moment one comes to grips with it, one will have ample occasion to speak of what is significant and essential in art."
