these paintings, that could produce the

same atmosphere in an even better

design – I have difficulty imagining

that these painters might be

influenced by Svarstad – Svarstad has

admittedly exhibited once in Paris;

but it is nevertheless unbelievable, that he

so swiftly should gain 2-3 talented

imitators – well, one shouldn’t believe

that anything is impossible – on another note the future is headed

towards a combination of stylised and naïve

naturalistic art – when it comes to several of the

most recent and youngest, I was reminded of

old naïve woodcuts with an excellent

decorative effect – naïve and refined at the

same time. May You live well then and pass on greetings

to all the young painters from me – especially

(and first and foremost Kinck.) Your devoted
