I suddenly realized that I never finished my posts about our recent trip to Sweden. IQF sort of got in the way!!
On one of my forays into the city of Malmo, I ended up at the
….a modern art museum!!
It was fairly small and had two exhibits currently running. One exhibit was not really my taste….
…but the other was wonderful!! It featured the paintings of Lotte Laserstein (1898 – 1993). She was German born, but in 1933 she was declared a “three-quarter Jew” and her art was banned from the public. In 1937 she had an exhibition in Stockholm and that provided the opportunity to leave Germany. She lived the rest of her life in Sweden.
I love the calmness in this painting….
But, man does it make me feel cold!!
If you remember, I was looking for pieces that had the “Pantone Color of the Year”….
…so I was drawn to paintings that had something similar.
This young boy is so poignant…..
…and this woman has a sadness to her that you can feel in the painting….
…while this stylish woman looks at peace with herself….
This next painting reminds me a lot of my mother as a young woman…..
This was my possibly my favorite. I am amazed at how she captured the definition of his fingers….
Finally, I loved this self-portrait…..
This museum sported an amazing creative area, but that is for another post!!
