Olle Bonniér
Olle Bonniér (1925–2016) was a prominent Swedish artist known for his contributions to concrete art, emerging from a post-war context in the 1940s. He was part of a notable group of artists dubbed 'the men of 1947,' which included figures like Lage Lindell and Lennart Rodhe. Bonniér's work reflects a search for a new artistic expression unburdened by the past, often characterized by geometric abstraction and a contemplative approach to themes such as mythology and civilization critique. His piece 'Ödestema,' created after visiting the ruins of Hamburg post-World War II, exemplifies his capacity to channel historical trauma into compelling visual narratives.
