”Moki och Neneh på trädgårdsfest”
"Moki Karlsson Cherry (1943-2009) bodde på 1960-talet, ihop med jazzmusikern Don Cherry, i Gamla stan i Stockholm. Hon var mor till Neneh Cherry och Eagle-Eye Cherry. Moki var en originell konstnär som främst gjorde sydda applikationer i en vild, aggressiv men samtidigt levnadsglad stil. Hennes dotter Neneh är 3 år på bilden, som är tagen 1967. Kameran var hette Widelux och var avsedd för panoramabilder av landskap."
Carl Johan De Geer
Carl Johan De Geer was a Swedish painter, designer, photographer, and author. He studied from 1959-62 at Konstfack. He is one of the leading representatives of the boundary-crossing artists of the 1960s. Utilising the magazine “Puss” as his platform, De Geer and others satirically critiqued society and its representatives in a provocative style. In their exhibitions, which often take the form of entire scenographies, he works with all art forms. He has designed textile patterns, created paintings featuring kitsch and memories, made films, and written novels that blend modernism with pop culture.
