Linde played a key role in the early years of Moderna Museet, facilitating a major coup on its behalf: In 1961, he produced the first replica of Marcel Duchamp's \u003ci\u003eLarge Glass\u003c\/i\u003e, approved and signed by the artist himself. While Linde was a major voice in Sweden for over six decades, he is little known outside of Scandinavia. \u003cbr\u003eThis anthology rectifies this oversight, compiling Linde's most rigorous and illuminating essays: studies of Swedish painters and other modern masters such as Picasso, Matisse, Picabia and Giacometti, as well as a bevy of theoretical texts including his ambitious final essay on the art of drawing. The volume is generously illustrated and features an introduction by Olle Granath, also a former director of Moderna Museet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Walther Konig Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50498740322578,"sku":"9783753300092","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_086b59a7-1aa0-4aa6-84eb-991832453f09.jpg?v=1730736085","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/essays-from-a-lifetime-in-the-arts-9783753300092","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
