In his book Philip Sandblom shows how illness affects the work of writers, artists and composers. Who is he? Doctor Philip Sandblom is a great surgical leader and, as president of the University of Lund, Sweden, his leadership encompassed the broad scope of an entire academic community. His analyses of 'The Role of the University in the World of Violence' and 'The difference in Men' contributed significantly to an appreciation of these most pertinent problems. This edition includes discussions of the poet Christian Morgenstern, painter Frida Kahlo, and composer Gustav Mahler. Annotations are included from Manilius, Baudelaire, Jean Cocteau, Proust, Montaigne and Ben Jonson. The Epilogue has been rewritten to set right some misunderstandings arising from the first edition.

Very fine. - - - Strax efter andra världskriget blev Paris där många konstnärer av olika slag samlades. Svenska konstnärer, författare och fotografer åkte dit. Förutom Strömholm till exempel Rune Hassner och Tore Johnson. Denna bok fokuserar på det som Strömholm hade som födkrok under sina år i Paris; att ta konstnärsporträtt. Han fotograferade den tidens stora, såsom, Yves Klein, Fernand Léger, och Max Ernst. Men han skildrade också det intensiva kroglivet som han själv deltog i. Och han fotograferade sina vänner, såsom poeten Paul Andersson och Pontus Hulten. Många av dessa bilder har sällan visats tidigare. Man kan säga att det lägger till ytterligare en pusselbit i historien om Christer Strömholm. - - - After the Second World War, many artists gathered in Paris. Swedish artists, writers and photographers went there too. In addition to Strömholm, for example Rune Hassner and Tore Johnson. This book focuses on the artists' portraits which Strömholm's took during his years in Paris. He photographed the greats of the time, such as Yves Klein, Fernand Léger and Max Ernst. But he also depicted the intense evening life in which he himself participated. And he photographed his friends, such as the poet Paul Andersson and Pontus Hulten. Many of these images have rarely been shown before. You could say that it adds another piece of the puzzle to the story of Christer Strömholm.
