Ett delat liv
The German-Swedish painter Lotte Laserstein (1898-1993) is one of the most exciting rediscoveries of recent years. The richly illustrated book with essays on Laserstein’s production in Berlin and her reception in Sweden as well as unpublished documentary material will enrich the existing knowledge of Laserstein’s life and work.

description
Laserstein’s current reputation as a great realist has assigned her an undisputed place in the 20th-century art history. Striking portraits, self-portraits and sensuous nudes demonstrate her synthesis of traditional painting style and modern subject matter in the Berlin period. During her five Swedish decades she produced an extremely extensive and diverse oeuvre. Works from all creative periods, including numerous works not published before, and texts questioning debates on gender and queerness as well as analyses of her assimilation strategies in Swedish exile will shed new light on the artist.
