I found a book on the painter Else Berg, and it is an interesting read. It is written by Linda Horn who took a lot of time to collect all snippets of information.
She tells about the life, travels, art connections and the real-life of being an artist. The paintings and work of Else Berg cannot be complete because a lot of works are missing, maybe lost in exhibitions, or send to family and then got lost, or sold randomly without any contact address. They are however talked about in letters and cards which they wrote to friends, so they did exist.
I really like the book, to read about such enthusiastic painters, how they made connections with the art world, how they went travelling for new inspiration, the uncertainty when critics talked about the new work and so on. I am sure I will look at her paintings in a different way, and will be curious to discover new works.
