History of art & design styles: from c 1900 -

Series: Catalogue Raisonne

The artist Anna Cassel (1860-1937) has until now been known for her paintings of magnificent natural views, landscapes and urban environments. However, the fact that her artistry also reflected spiritual beliefs and her involvement in, among other things, spiritualism and theosophy has not been noticed. Only now, nearly a century after her death, is Anna Cassel's significance for abstract and spiritual art beginning to shine through, not least thanks to her deep friendship and collaboration with fellow artist Hilma af Klint. In this book, this side of Anna Cassels is presented for the first time to a wider audience together with a vivid description of her role in the circle of spiritually searching artists active around the turn of the century.

Reviews for Anna Cassel: The Tale of the Rose

"Historians once believed that only af Klint answered the call. But several scholars now say that Anna Cassel, another artist from the Five, was responsible for 14 paintings from a 1906-7 series called ""Primordial Chaos"" that were displayed at af Klint's show at the Guggenheim, as well as one painting from the 1907 ""Eros"" series.--Zachary Small ""The New York Times: Arts"" Sacred illustrations are reproduced in this solemnly beautiful clothbound book, its hushed design aligning with Cassel's glyphic and celestial compositions.--Johanna Fateman ""Bookforum"" An astonishing revelation ... Restores Anna Cassel to her rightful place as a cocreator of The Paintings for the Temple.--Susan L. Aberth ""Artforum"""
