Jockum Nordström: All I Have Learned and Forgotten Again

In Hatje Cantz's new monograph on Swedish artist Jockum Nordström, John Hutchinson writes, "Jockum Nordström creates oddball and apparently naïve narratives; his way of looking at life owes much to the twin influences of folk art and modernist absurdism. Each of his painted, drawn, or cut-up stories is both specific and open-ended, as though—not unlike Henry Darger’s paintings—they are part of a much grander and ongoing tale that is going to take a long time to unfold. They are full of disjunctions, incongruities, and allusions, and in that respect they have some resemblance to unusually interesting dreams. The conventional logic of time and space is suspended, and the mood is often unheimlich, or uncanny. But there is always a lightness in his touch."
