<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Taking the exhibition entitled “Carl Larsson – friends and enemies“ (Stockholm 2013) as its starting point, this study seeks to shed new light on the interplay of selected people in Larsson’s personal networks. It examines an issue, which has to date received little attention, the interaction between Larsson’s artistic and literary work. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory, the study explores a range of personal relationships expressed both cooperatively and antagonistically, but is concerned less to demonstrate any conscious strategies on the part of Larsson than to reveal gradually evolving patterns of interaction. Indeed, in the fight for symbolic capital, Larsson’s combined genre of literature and art reproductions in the form of albums (1895–1910) is increasingly growing in importance.</jats:p>
