ULF LINDE:

Ulf Linde (1929-2013) was a major gure in Swedish cultural life for six decades. Yet until now few readers outside Scandinavia have been able to enjoy his lively intelligence and highly original voice. This first anthology in English spans the full range of his writings, texts on Swedish painters who deserve to be better known abroad, studies of Picasso, Matisse, Picabia, Giacometti, and other modern masters, and speculative theoretical texts, including his last and most ambitious essay, about the art of drawing.
