The interiors of Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershoi reveal an
understanding of light and its play in space comparable to that of
Vermeer and Whistler, while his methods are related to those of Van
Gogh.  This lecture will discuss and illustrate the surprising
methodological approaches and technical relationships used by these
artists in creating spatial illusions in seemingly unrelated
artistic expressions.
