Excerpt from The Chefs-D'oeuvre: Exposition Universelle, 1900 Carl Larsson, or an enfeebling and unfortunate one, as with Alfred Wahl berg. The name of the latter had long been one of the best known abroad of all those of his countrymen; at the present day, when the demand is all for sincerity' and depth of conviction in landscape painting, that of this artist is found to be somewhat too superficial, elegant, and exclusively intelligent, to betray merely close observation and skilful rendering, rather than any evidence of penetration by the poetry or the intimate sentiment of the scene. Moreover, though he ranges from the shores of the Baltic to the coasts of Brittany and the summer Splendor of Italy, it is asserted that his native landscapes, with which he may naturally be supposed to be more closely in touch, are much better executed than his scenes painted abroad. His paysage z'ntz'me is a trifle too sophisticated and diluted. But his choice of themes, a certain sense of style and composition, a very just expression of values and tones.
