Résumé : This volume celebrates the Swedish artist Mamma Andersson's new body of work--melancholic,
evocatively colored paintings that explore femininity, fantasy, and memory. Andersson's
works embody a new genre of landscape painting that recalls late nineteenth-century
romanticism while also embracing a contemporary interest in layered, psychological
compositions. Her panoramic scenes draw inspiration from a wide range of archival
photographic source materials, filmic imagery, theater sets, and period interiors
as well as the sparse topography of northern Sweden, where she grew up. The paintings
utilize a selection of motifs from throughout her career: barren branches and thick-barked
pine trees, domestic interiors, horses, and young women. Resembling still lifes, they
further a tradition of quiet, dreamlike domestic scenes by Scandinavian artists such
as Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) and Edvard Munch (1863-1944). Part of a self-conscious
effort to capture an experience rather than a specific event, the compositions are
freer and more abstract and mark a departure from her earlier work. Splendid color
reproductions bring the artist's textured brushstrokes, loose washes, and stark graphic
lines to life on the page. The book also features a new essay by critically acclaimed
author Karl Ove Knausgaard. The Lost Paradise is published on the occasion of an eponymous
exhibition presented at David Zwirner New York in 2020. --Publisher's description
