I had the best intentions to blog every day from Stockholm, I really had. But then there were so much to explore, we actually ending up leaving the hotel right after breakfast, not coming back till late night, diving into bed, exhausted. The sun was shining, spring was in the air, Stockholm is beautiful, we walked miles and miles every day and I did not want to miss one minute.
One day we took the tube and then a tram out to Lidingö to visit Millesgården Museum, an amazing place which originally was the home of the artists Carl and Olga Milles. A sculpture park, an art gallery, a unique collection of antiques and art both outdoors and indoors.
The garden, the sculpture park, the artists´home was great, I could walk there for hours, but we were also lucky that the art gallery had a display of photographs by Madame Dra, Dora Kallmus (1881-1963) She had a studio in Vienna and later in Paris and being a pioner female artist photographed a vide range of subjects and made her studio into a fashionable meeting place. When I posted the above photo, of Joséphine Baker, on Facebook it was deleted, due to nudity :-)
A portrait of Collette, a French writer. I was introduced to her through one of Frances Mayes´books.
And here is.......
.......well, who is this?
