Here are the collages and paintings of contemporary surrealist artist Gudrun Åhlberg. Included are her renowned “feminine landscapes,” fragments of female bodies juxtaposed with bits of natural landscapes. Also illustrated is another technique that blends cut-out color pictures on magazine paper with decalomanias, a technique similar to that used by Max Ernst. Her work is at once poetic and full of horror, depicting the precarious situtation of mankind.
