In a time like our own, where a young generation feels a great need to change our way of living, thinking and organizing ourselves, the publication on the artist group Brücke feels particularly relevant. These young artists also wanted to renew art and life in the German Imperial Empire and have ever since inspired younger generations of artists.In bright paintings with simplified forms and large fields of color they expressed rather their feelings than an external reality. They were interested in topics like man and nature, the naked body, portraits, self-portraits, the merging of life and art and life in the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. The catalogue discusses among others how we today perceive and can take on challenging themes like inspiration from African and Oceanian colonial cultural objects and of very young female models.

In this exhaustive book on Hilma af Klint published to date, twenty specialists in Modern Art, Art History, the History of Ideas and Religious Studies use their expertise to explore af Klint s unique artistry. The topics range from early Abstract Art and the impact of Darwin and Goethe s Colour Theory, to the importance of occult religious movements such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy which influenced the early modernists. Some of Hilma af Klint s own diary notes and research are also included. The book is based on a seminar held in conjunction with the extremely successful exhibition Hilma af Klint A Pioneer of Abstraction in 2013 at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. The book has an epilogue by Daniel Birnbaum. This is a new edition that includes a recent essay by Kurt Almqvist, Hilma af Klint s Secret Teachings, Message and Philosophy , based on previously unpublished material. It investigates parts of Hilma af Klint s story that have not been looked at before: the background of her teachings and philosophy; the developments after her death in 1944 up until the formation of The Hilma af Klint Foundation in 1972; and the only heir to her works: the anthropologist Vice-Admiral Erik af Klint (1901 1981), the Foundation s founder and only donor.

Comprehensive view and new research on the fascinating painter of New Objectivity. The German-Swedish painter Lotte Laserstein (1898-1993) is one of the most exciting rediscoveries of recent years. The richly illustrated book with essays on Laserstein’s production in Berlin and her reception in Sweden as well as unpublished documentary material can enrich the existing knowledge of Laserstein’s life and work. Laserstein’s current reputation as a great realist has assigned her an undisputed place in the 20th-century art history. Striking portraits, self-portraits and sensual nudes demonstrate her synthesis of traditional painting style and modern subject matter in the Berlin period.

”Det är något arkaiskt över Majlis Agbecks bildvärldar, något urgammalt och något alldeles eget, som liknar ingenting annat. Det är en skör värld vi bevittnar, en värld där »alla har sitt« att brottas med. Majlis Agbeck (f.1948) skapar i sina broderier besynnerliga världar där fiskar, lamm och andra mer obestämbara djur är återkommande motiv … Man skulle kunna säga att hon målar med nål och tråd. Att få fram inre bilder genom tusentals stygn kräver total närvaro och extremt tålamod av konstnären och samtidigt ett inåt lyssnande som gör skapelseprocessen till en kontinuerlig meditation”. (ur Iris Müller-Westermanns text) ”Majlis Agbecks underliga gestalter förefaller vara väsen med ett vilt hjärta. De växer fram i broderier på genomskinlig organza med knappt förnimbara nyanser kring det vita. Stygn i tråd av silke och bomull följer noggranna skissers intrikata linjespel som inte sällan för mina tankar till surrealisternas automatiska teckningar. Cirklande, sicksackande linjer som fårens upptrampade stigar på en sluttning. Och därefter raka, mjukt böjda, bågformade, fyllda av längtan och vemod. Eller lagda tätt-tätt intill varandra tills de bildar en måne, en kropp eller kaninens och fiskens tårar”. Majlis Agbeck studerade måleri på Kungliga Konsthögskolan i Stockholm 1970–1975, MFA. Hon arbetar idag i olika tekniker både två- och tredimensionellt. Den föreliggande boken ägnar sig åt konstnärens textila arbeten. Majlis Agbeck verkar i Malmö och har bland annat ställt ut på Moderna Museet och Galleri Ping-Pong i Malmö, Cecilia Hillström Gallery i Stockholm samt Lunds konsthall och Landskrona konsthall.
