Landscape scenes became textile paintings and folding screens alongside her free compositions on grand piano covers, bags and tablecloths. For the first time since 1960, her art is shown in a solo exhibition at Moderna Museet.
Anna Casparsson (1861–1961) was an artist, pianist and translator. Her work is characterised by opulence, attention to detail and a joy for storytelling, and developed in her home in Saltsjöbaden outside Stockholm – an important meeting place for cultural figures in the first half of the 20th century. Despite her strong presence in an artistic and intellectual environment, Casparsson has remained relatively overlooked in Swedish art history.
“The Isle of Bliss” at Moderna Museet in Malmö is a revised version of the same exhibition at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, exhibition period 25 April–27 September 2026.
Curator: Asrin Haidari
The exhibition is shown in the galleries on floor 2
