| book description |

How does an artist work? How do ideas, emotions, and transcendental daydreams make their way from the mind to a physical format? This book includesÂ previously - published and newly - written texts about A K Dolvenâ€™s oeuvre. The texts vary greatly in form and content. Some examine the artistâ€™s notebooks and the way they have influenced Dolvenâ€™s treatment of nature and geographical locations such as London, Berlin, and the Lofoten archipelago, while others explore Dolvenâ€™s relationship with other artistic eras and symbols, such as the baroque period or the figure of the Virgin Mary, as well as her ongoing dialogue with artists such as Edvard Munch and Helene Schjerfbeck. Other important themes addressed are concepts such as time and space, and how they have influenced Dolvenâ€™s art. In addition to presenting all of the retrospectiveâ€™s featured works from the exhibition amazone at the National Museum of Oslo, the book is also richly illustrated with photographs and other materials culled from Dolvenâ€™s archive, providing unique insight into her artistic processes and documenting her decades-long career.
