{"product_id":"mamma-andersson","title":"Mamma Andersson","description":"\u003cb\u003eThis volume celebrates the Swedish artist Mamma Andersson’s new body of work—melancholic, evocatively colored paintings that explore femininity, fantasy, and memory.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndersson’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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e is published on the occasion of an eponymous exhibition presented at David Zwirner New York in 2020.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57305985024382,"sku":"NW9781644230565","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/mamma-andersson","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
