English summary: Seraphine Louis painted still lifes that turned into visions of the Garden of Eden. Between the self-taught artist's first attempts at painting and her internment in a psychiatric asylum, one of the most remarkable artistic adventures of the twentieth century unfolded. The uvre of Seraphine Louis developed in an unusual way. She painted because she believed she had received the commission to do so from her guardian angel and the Virgin Mary. Thus, more and more bizarre, vegetal forms and apocalyptic visions emerged. This volume gives a historically informed account of the life of this unusual artist. German description: Seraphine Louis (1864-1942) malte Stillleben und fantastische Blutenbaume, die sich zu Visionen des Paradiesgartens steigerten. Zwischen den ersten Malversuchen der Autodidaktin und ihrer Einweisung in die Psychiatrie entfaltete sich eines der bemerkenswertesten kunstlerischen Abenteuer des 20. Jahrhunderts. 'Ein fesselndes Werk. Auaerordentlich faktenreich, dennoch konzentriert und gut lesbar stellt es die Auffassungen uber biographische Details, die reichhaltigen historischen Quellen sorgsam abwagend, in ein neues Licht.' Neues Deutschland
