Critics Review
Historians once believed that only af Klint answered the call. But several scholars now say that Anna Cassel, another artist from the Five, was responsible for 14 paintings from a 1906-7 series called “Primordial Chaos” that were displayed at af Klint’s show at the Guggenheim, as well as one painting from the 1907 “Eros” series.–Zachary Small “The New York Times: Arts”Sacred illustrations are reproduced in this solemnly beautiful clothbound book, its hushed design aligning with Cassel’s glyphic and celestial compositions.–Johanna Fateman “Bookforum”An astonishing revelation … Restores Anna Cassel to her rightful place as a cocreator of The Paintings for the Temple.–Susan L. Aberth “Artforum”
