The first monograph dedicated to Karin Bergöö Larsson's innovative artistic contributions, particularly her textiles, and her development as an artist from her early years in Stockholm and Paris to her later work in Sundborn.
From the publisher:
Everyone knows Carl Larsson House in Sundborn, the world-famous artists’ home in rural Sweden. Everyone knows who Carl Larsson was. Everyone has seen his wife, Karin, in his paintings. Many people know she had real talent and, like her husband, was a trained artist. Her textiles, so innovative in their colour and design, have inspired awe and admiration. But very few have paused to think about what made her so innovative.
In Karin Bergöö Larsson: The Artist, a wealth of Bergöö Larssons’s textiles, techniques, and sources of inspiration are described in all their vividly unique combinations. We can follow how Bergöö Larsson developed her art and her thinking on creativity, family life, home furnishings, and fashion. We can see her finding her inspiration and making it her own – and with the curiosity and open-mindedness that guided her all her life, from her youth in Stockholm and Paris in the 1870s and 1880s to the mature artist of the Sundborn years.
