BOOK OF THE MONTH
Nonconformers: A New History of Self-Taught Artists
by Lisa Slominski
Hilma af Klint, the woman behind this abstract 1907 painting, is just one art outsider who gets a more nuanced reappraisal in this fascinating new book. Discover how self-taught artists factored into key movements of the 20th century – af Klint, for example, is said to have produced breath-taking abstract art before even Kandinsky or Mondrian. Plus, contemporary practitioners working outside of traditional studios also feature.
