More information

Gudrun Åhlberg was the only female artist to belong to the "Imaginisterna", a group of artists in Malmö from 1945 to 1956 formed by CO Hultén, Max Walter Svanberg and Anders Österlin. The number of members varied, but among those who gradually joined the group were Gösta Kriland, Bertil Gadö and Bertil Lundberg.

The Imaginists' art had elements of imaginative surrealism, often with motifs of nature, women and eroticism. This was combined with a painterly, expressive and poetically ambiguous style that broke away from the earlier surrealism and was more in line with the informal art that gained more and more followers from the end of the Second World War.
