中文简介：

艺术家安娜·卡塞尔（Anna Cassel，1860-1937）以绘制宏伟的自然景观、风景和城市环境而闻名。然而，她的艺术作品也反映了她的精神信仰，以及她参与的灵性主义和神学等活动，这一事实直到现在才注意到。在她去世近一个世纪后，安娜·卡塞尔对抽象和精神艺术的意义才开始显现出来，这主要得益于她与同为艺术家的希尔玛·阿夫·克林特（Hilma af Klint）的深厚友谊和合作。本书生动地描述了安娜·卡塞尔在世纪之交活跃的精神探索艺术家圈子中的作用，并首次向更多读者展示了她的这一面。

英文简介：

The artist Anna Cassel (1860–1937) has until now been known for her paintings of magnificent natural views, landscapes and urban environments. However, the fact that her artistry also reflected spiritual beliefs and her involvement in, among other things, spiritualism and theosophy has not been noticed. Only now, nearly a century after her death, is Anna Cassel's significance for abstract and spiritual art beginning to shine through, not least thanks to her deep friendship and collaboration with fellow artist Hilma af Klint. In this book, this side of Anna Cassels is presented for the first time to a wider audience together with a vivid description of her role in the circle of spiritually searching artists active around the turn of the century.
