Vilhelm Hammershoi

Vilhelm Hammershoi (died 1916) is interesting because he's a realist painter whose work isn't realist. There's a big new exhibition at the Tate called "The Poetry of Silence". His paintings aren't really "about" what they depict. He makes me think about what music could be like this ?
