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 Hammersh i (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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David Zwirner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644230565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64","brand":"Karl Ove Knausgaard, Mamma Andersson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40994716156085,"sku":"9781644230565","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3ae4a749-0858-4be5-9b5c-376849c5bd30.jpg?v=1631627639","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mamma-andersson-the-lost-paradise-9781644230565","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
