Very early I learned to know Anders Zorn

Every evening, just before sleep, I was studying  a picture

painted by him. Djos Mats was the title of the painting.

Djos Mats, a shoemaker, sitting at his desk, glasses and 

hat on. Leaning over his workbench.

I gazed at the picture. hanging over the sofa, and 

I was so amazed over how it was done ... small dots

of color, just on the tip of the glasses, a stroke of 

cadmium on the ear .... wonderful.

I tried to find out what 

made the light in the shoemakers eyes so vibrant..  

I wondered and wondered and then 

I fell asleep. 

Many times have I been to Mora and the Museum.

And I am still astonished when I see the pictures shown there. 

He was a marvellous artist.

I made this picture for an article about Mora

and Zorn. Published in GP.

Years ago.
