I visited the Philadelphia Art Museum on October 10, 2009, and like everyone else I was absolutely stunned by "the Water Mill". I stood up close, I moved, eventually I just sat and stared. It is just so amazing. After returning home I had to know more about Fritz Thaulow and his work. What a wonderful surprise to find thhis site and discover how many people feel exactly the way I did.

More emails or letters to the Museum wouldn't hurt. Now I'm on a quest! Maybe you can email Tom Alderson and any others who you think may be interested in pursuing this campaign.

She is involved with the John G. Johnson Collection. Thanks for your blog which has renewed all my interest in getting this painting back for public viewing. Dottie Hi Charley,

I've <a href="http://www.philamuseum.org/contacts/" rel="nofollow">emailed the modern art department</a> (apparently everything after 1900 is modern art) and asked if there is any provision for us to ask that a painting that has been put in storage be returned to view. I'll let you know if I receive a reply. I've removed your email address so it's not visible to email harvesting spam bots. Anyone else interested can leave comments here and I will relay directly if they request Thanks, Dottie.

I was so disappointed to discover that on my visit this weekend. I'd promised my children the most stunning rendering of flowing water that they would ever see, and--Dad was a dud! There should be a campaign to get it put back up. Yes, I am sorry to report that the Philadelphia museum has taken down Water Mill. I was so disappointed to discover that on my visit this weekend.

The painting I have is a scene from South Africa c.1906. Have you found out anything about Arvid? I never met him myself. What is your interest in him? Also, where did you hear of him.
