The first U.S. survey of Anna-Eva Bergman, “Revelation” is one of the few looks at the experimental practice of the dynamic Norwegian-born artist, who lived from 1909—1987. A multi-talented individual working first as an illustrator, journalist, and author, Bergman’s painting process evolved from a ravenous curiosity about the world. With an oeuvre spanning many materials, icons, and subject matter, Bergman’s work is largely figurative—though that doesn’t indicate that it’s devoid of meaning. With a biography including the struggles of World War II and Nazi occupation, a marriage (twice) to Hans Hartung, and a conscience that led to activism, Bergman’s pared-down visual repertoire is the result of years of experimenting with different materials and finds itself chock-full of questions about the invisible forces that govern the universe and reflecting the people and the world around her.
