"Photograph from Zorn's 60th birthday, 1920"

Below are two images from the Zorn garden. The left one was his home, now open for the public. The right one is a shot from the old Zorn farm, where he grew up. He had those buildings torrn down, and rebuilt on his land, constructed exactly as they had looked when he was a kid.
I'm working on a gallery containing more Zorn paintings than found anywhere on the web. But until then, here are some good links you should check out:

http://www.zorn.se
http://www.artrenewal.org/

Also, check out my own website, www.jemawi.com, that soon will contain the largest collection of Zorn paintings found on the internet.

Finally, I'd like to express my gratitude toward Gavin, without whom this article couldn't have been written. Although he has a full schedule with work and his own art, he took the time to help me with this project.
- Thanks!!!

Art has been around me, and inside of me for as long as I can remember. I am a father of William, and the fiancé of Jenny.
