Isaac Grünewald found a response to his intense longing for colour in the hues of flowers, particularly those of the blood-red amaryllis. To him, flowers were not merely living beings with emotional responses and distinct characters; they were colour itself brought to life. Nothing elicited his joy in painting as directly as flowers. Flower painting did not enjoy the same esteem as figure compositions among contemporary critics, something that scarcely concerned Grünewald. He was criticised for his overly bold experimentation with colour. In 1915, newly returned from France and Germany, he exhibited flowers exclusively at Gummesons Konstgalleri, an exhibition that was greatly appreciated by the public.
Maria Anto occupies a distinctive position in Polish post-war art. At a time marked by abstraction and the emergence of conceptual art, she chose an independent path, developing a figurative visual language incorporating elements of Surrealism, fantastical art and magic realism.
Anto’s paintings are populated by people, animals, plants and buildings in enigmatic landscapes where everyday life and fantasy merge. Family members, self-portraits and familiar places in Warsaw recur, as do factories and industrial areas transformed into dreamlike, sometimes threatening environments. Behind the fairy-tale surface of the images lies a psychological tension between security and unease, darkness and wonder. Her childhood in German-occupied Warsaw, shaped by war and loss, provides an important background to this visual world.

Ingegerd Torhamn (1898–1994) was one of the earliest and most prominent Swedish Concrete artists. Her major breakthrough came when she participated in the legendary Stockholm Exhibition of 1930. Torhamn was drawn to the clean, geometric lines of Functionalism, and her paintings often feature seemingly simple, non-figurative motifs.
Lilla Bukowskis presents seven works by Ingegerd Torhamn, along with a collection of works by Concrete and Cubist artists from Sweden and the Nordics.
