Harriet Backer (1845–1932) was one of Norways most significant artists. Highly acclaimed for her rich, luminous use of color, Backer created an eminently personal style that blends interior scenes and open-air painting.
Every Atom is Color presented Backer's life, artistic development, and position in society during a time of radical change in women's rights. The exhibition at Kode was the last and final stop after being showcased at Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo, the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
