Here are the collages and paintings of contemporary surrealist artist Gudrun Åhlberg. Included are her renowned “feminine landscapes,” fragments of female bodies juxtaposed with bits of natural landscapes. Also illustrated is another technique that blends cut-out color pictures on magazine paper with decalomanias, a technique similar to that used by Max Ernst. Her work is at once poetic and full of horror, depicting the precarious situtation of mankind.

The topic is memories and feelings on the way to disappearing, and the work is intended to reinforce their stabilization while playing on the symbolic transparency of glass as a medium. Very soft, attractive work from this established Swedish artist.

In honor of the acclaimed French artist Henri Matisse, this exhibition seems to highlight his marked authenticity to line and color, above all. Figuring prominently in the inception of modern art, Matisse’s paintings are completely unique because of their characteristically unfixed sense of space, dazzling use of color, and captivating patterns. This catalog includes an interview with the artist from 1951 and it presents an array of his works that are highly representative of his multiple talents as painter, draftsman, and sculptor.
