Description: Like many of her female contemporaries, the artist Lilian Lindblad Domec (1922?2017) has largely slipped under the radar. But through both her life and her work she has important things to convey about the meaning and predicaments of art. Rather than trying to create her persona as an artist, her long life was characterised by curiosity, boundlessness and pleasure. She was sharp and funny, had a strong commitment to society, she rarely conformed, and she made creativity her life. 00She studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts between 1943 and 1949 and made a living by drawing press illustrations, among others for the Swedish daily Aftonbladet, and the magazine Femina. She had several assignments for the Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company where she drew and animated clips in a number of productions. Otherwise, she remained unfaithful to all genres and continuously reassessed her many ways of expression.00From the mid 1960s onwards, she became a part of Swedish experimental film and made several short films, first through her own production company Victoriafilm and later through the legendary Filmverkstan (the Film Workshop) which started in 1973 with the intention of allowing new talent, who lacked the resources, an opportunity to film. For 27 years, Filmverkstan became Lilian?s place of work, where she met colleagues with whom she could establish a professional community. She was attracted by a medium that was less concerned about technique, that managed just fine without professional actors and remained open to new ways of exploring reality. 00Exhibition: Kalmar konstmuseum, Sweden (23.01.2021 - 20.03.2022).
Notes: Chiefly illustrated.
