A film screening of "The Artist's Wife" has been held at
Landmark Baku Cine Club as part of the ArtVerg project.
The film tells the story of the Danish artist Marie Tripke, who
married Peder Severin Krøyer, a world-famous painter. They were one
of the most famous married couples in the country, widely
admired.
Famous figures of that time - politicians, aristocrats,
scientists, writers, and royalty - dreamed of Krøyer painting their
portraits. It was a great honor for them. And the artist could set
any price for his work. And Marie was called the most beautiful
woman in Europe.
However, the relationship between the spouses was difficult, as
Krøyer suffered from a hereditary mental disorder. From a cheerful
and joyful person, he could turn into a crazy monster in an
instant. Meeting the Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén, whom Marie fell
in love with, seemed like a step towards salvation.
After the screening, the guests of the event expressed their
opinions about the film and Peder Severin Krøyer, his beautiful
canvases stored in museums.
ArtVerg project is co-organized by NGO Arts Council of
Azerbaijan and The Landmark Hotel. The curator of the project is
Islam Mammadov, moderator Elshan Ibrahimov.
The project features film screenings, discussions and lectures
by foreign and local art historians, film critics, etc.
