Editing Carl Fredrik Hill (section)

===Later period===
During the 28  years before his death, Hill's creative work entered a new phase. The Swedish art historian [[Ragnar Josephson]] calls it "the second great period of his life as a painter". His artistry continued unabated; during these years he drew four drawings a day.
The [[motif (visual arts)|motifs]] for Hill's drawings in this period came from imagination and memory as well as from older art and [[illustrations]].<ref name="Gunnarsson_GAO"/> To Hill, drawing was a way to take control of the new world which had now succeeded the old one. On paper he created a world of his own. Drawing became a way to distract the evil forces that he perceived surrounding him constantly. He defended himself, using a pencil as his weapon. "The prince of whispers ... where the world glows in a blood-red struggle" writes [[Gunnar Ekelöf]] in a poem to Hill.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.barnebys.com/barnepedia/article//carl-fredrik-hill/ |title=Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911) Sweden

Hill never lived to see his recognition as an artist. He produced thousands of drawings in various techniques: [[crayon]], [[pencil]], [[ink]], [[India ink]] and [[watercolour]]. Some 3,500 drawings are still thought to exist, of which more than 2,600 are part of the collections of the [[Malmö Art Museum]], as are 23 of his oil paintings. The largest collection of all was donated to the Malmö Art Museum by Hill's heirs and have been increased with important gifts from private collections.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/arts/design/20galleries.html  |title=Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911) Sweden|publisher=  Art in Review|author=    Roberta Smith    |date=November 19, 2009 |accessdate=March 1, 2019}}</ref>

Hill's drawings were discovered and admired mainly by artists. Thanks to the Swedish collector [[Rolf de Maré]] (1888–1964), Hill's work become known in connection with the French [[avant-garde]] of the 1920s and 1930s. In 1949, a hundred years after Hill's birth, a travelling exhibition was shown in London, Lucerne, Basel, Geneva and Hamburg. The exhibition was a success, and in 1952 the [[Institut Tessin]] in Paris published a book about Hill with an introduction by [[Jacques Lassaigne]]. Since then several works about Hill have appeared in Sweden, and Hill exhibitions succeed one another both in Sweden and abroad. Hill is now reckoned as one of Sweden's most important landscape painters, and the drawings done during the time he was ill in Lund have made him known outside Sweden as well.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/51613?programid=2794|title=Rolf de Maré – rik, gay och framsynt danspionjär|publisher=  Sveriges Radio AB
