Spiritualist and art historical revelations in ‘Anna Cassel: The Saga of the Rose’

Featured spreads are from Anna Cassel: The Saga of the Rose, the first major presentation of the Swedish painter and spiritualist who produced artwork, together with Hilma af Klint, as a member of The Five—perhaps even collaborating on works currently attributed to af Klint. “The Guru has a message for you, A[nna],” af Klint wrote in 1914. “Your path is nearly ready for you. Your power will soon grow, and you will become a sturdy pillar like few others. You have been called as one and I as the other to erect the entry arch.”
