A prominent colourist with a feeling for light and atmosphere, she also established herself among artists abroad. The 15 years she spent in Munich and Paris were a turning point in her development.

Backer’s colleague and close friend from Münich, the Norwegian landscape painter Kitty Kielland (1843–1914), accompanied her to Paris where they shared an apartment in the city together for ten years. Backer saw the male-dominated art world as a challenge, though she tended toward actions rather than words. In 1888, she established a renowned school for painters in Oslo, which she ran until 1909. Many significant artists such as Nikolai Astrup, Harald Sohlberg, Charlotte Wankel, Halfdan Egedius and Astrid Welhaven attended Backers school. She also participated in the 1889 and 1900 Expositions Universelles, earning a silver medal in 1889 and through her positions on purchasing committees and exhibition juries, she played a substantial role in establishing equality and professionalism in the Norwegian art world which is still apparent today.

His Final Months” arrives in Paris after its run at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, where it was on show from May 12 to September 3, 2023. According to the Van Gogh Museum, “in the exhibition, we follow Van Gogh from his arrival in Auvers-sur-Oise, where he optimistically and ambitiously set to work, through to his last works. By this time, feelings of failure, loneliness, and melancholy had gained the upper hand, but Van Gogh nevertheless continued to make enormously powerful works. The exhibition also explores Van Gogh’s significance as an artist at the time, and how his reputation grew in the initial years after his death.” The Orsay states that “No exhibition has yet been devoted exclusively to this final, yet crucial, stage of [Van Gogh’s] career. In two months, the painter produced 74 paintings and 33 drawings, including iconic works such as ‘Doctor Paul Gachet’, ‘The Church at Auvers-sur-Oise’, and ‘Field of Wheat with Crows’. With some forty paintings and twenty drawings, the exhibition will highlight this period in a thematic way: early landscapes depicting the village, portraits, still lifes, landscapes of the surrounding countryside. It will also present a series, unique in Van Gogh’s work, of paintings in an elongated double square format.” Interestingly, when “Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise. His Final Months” opened in Amsterdam last May, it did so just a few days before the Art Institute of Chicago presented the exhibition “Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde: The Modern Landscape”. Now, the two exhibitions coincide once again, as the latter will be on view at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam from 13 October.
