"The sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (1863-1945) was a prominent artist of her time. Her works enjoyed great recognition, she sold and exhibited extensively in her native Denmark and abroad, and she paved the way for women artists being allowed to educate themselves and work professionally with their art. She was also the first woman in the world ever to make an equestrian statue of a king ... Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen features contributions from artists and academics who have been uniquely inspired by and studied Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen's art. In a blend of analysis and art, the sculptor and her work are explored from numerous angles on the basis of fundamental themes such as sculpture, modernity, gender and power. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs, reproductions and original artist contributions. The latter includes submissions from two of Denmark's most prominent living sculptors, Elisabeth Toubro and Kirsten Justesen, in addition to author and visual artist Amalie Smith and graphic novelist Allan van Hansen."--Back cover.
