Alf Munthe

den mjuka arkitekturens mästare

Among 20th-century artists, Alf Munthe, 1892-1971, emerges as one of the foremost. He was the art academy rebel who came to devote himself to textile art, and who became the architects' artist. He contributed textile works for public environments, designed by Gunnar Asplund, Peter Celsing and Sven Ivar Lind, among others. Together with Greta Gahn, Munthe created textiles under the auspices of Handarbetets Vänners. In 1951, they opened their own studio at Lekattgården in Leksand. There, tradition, avant-garde and spiritual thinking met. Together with skilled weavers from the countryside and in collaboration with Wålstedt's wool spinning mill in Dala-Floda, his art reached a new dimension. The master of soft architecture, Alf Munthe, was an all-around artist. This richly illustrated book provides a diverse illumination of his life's work. With lyrics by: Per-Åke Backman, Katarina Edenheim, Ralph Edenheim, Ulf Hård af Segerstad, Kersti Jobs-Björklöf, Sven Ivar Lind, Leif Reinius, Margareta Ridderstedt, Anne Marie Rådström, Sebastian Selvén, Susanna Slöör, Lars Wålstedt, Marie Ekstedt Bjersing and Gunilla Esbjörn. The anthology is published in collaboration with Leksands Konstsällskap

Bland 1900-talets konstnärer framträder Alf Munthe, 1892-1971, som en av de främsta. Han var konstakademirebellen som kom att ägna sig åt textil konst, och som blev arkitekternas konstnär. Han bidrog med textila verk för offentliga miljöer, ritade av bland andra Gunnar Asplund, Peter Celsing och Sven Ivar Lind. Tillsammans med Greta Gahn skapade Munthe textilier i Handarbetets Vänners regi. 1951 öppnade de en egen ateljé på Lekattgården i Leksand. Där möttes tradition, avantgardism och andligt tänkande. Tillsammans med skickliga väverskor från bygden och i samarbete med Wålstedts ullspinneri i Dala-Floda nådde hans konst en ny dimension. Den mjuka arkitekturens mästare Alf Munthe var en allkonstnär. Denna rikt illustrerade bok ger en mångsidig belysning av hans livsverk. Med texter av: Per-Åke Backman, Katarina Edenheim, Ralph Edenheim, Ulf Hård af Segerstad, Kersti Jobs-Björklöf, Sven Ivar Lind, Leif Reinius, Margareta Ridderstedt, Anne Marie Rådström, Sebastian Selvén, Susanna Slöör, Lars Wålstedt, Marie Ekstedt Bjersing och Gunilla Esbjörn. Antologin utges i samarbete med Leksands Konstsällskap.
