Summary

• Kunstmaler Albert Kongsbak (1877-1958) tog afgang fra Kunstakademiet i København i 1901. Han var elev af Frederik Vermehren og startede som guldaldermaler og udviklede sig i de følgende 50 år til naturalistisk og impressionistisk landskabs- og portrætmaler med mange udstillinger på Charlottenborg, hvor han også var censor. Det er første gang, der skrives et samlet værk om ham og hans store produktion. Bogen er baseret på forfatterens arkiv af skitsebøger, scrapbøger samt en stor samling avisanmeldelser og sort-hvide fotos af de udstillede værker. Forfatteren og hendes familie ejer mange Kongsbak-billeder, men undervejs er der også dukket billeder frem fra private hjem i Hanherred. Dertil kommer en række ældre malerier fra museer i Danmark. Kongsbak og hans samtidige kunstnervenner, som også omtales i bogen, tilhører en i kunsthistorien næsten glemt malergeneration, der nu banker på døren for at blive husket for deres bidrag til den moderne kunst.
• Painter Albert Kongsbak (1877-1958) graduated from the Art Academy in Copenhagen in 1901. He was a student of Frederik Vermehren and started as a Golden Age painter and developed in the following 50 years into a naturalistic and impressionistic landscape and portrait painter with many exhibitions at Charlottenborg, where he was also a censor. This is the first time a comprehensive work has been written about him and his great production. The book is based on the author's archive of sketchbooks, scrapbooks as well as a large collection of newspaper reviews and black and white photos of the works on display. The author and her family own many Kongsbak pictures, but along the way, pictures have also emerged from private homes in Hanherred. In addition, there are a number of older paintings from museums in Denmark. Kongsbak and his contemporary artist friends, who are also mentioned in the book, belong to an almost forgotten generation of painters in art history, who are now knocking on the door to be remembered for their contribution to modern art
