Girl from Eydtkuhne II By Helene Schjerfbeck
We present today's work thanks to the Finnish National Gallery, where until March 27th, 2022, you can visit The Modern Woman, an exhibition that discusses the role and position of Finnish women artists in the decades of 20th-century Modernism. Helene Schjerfbecks importance in Finnish modernist art is undeniable. She is also one of the stars of the exhibition. Today you can enjoy her work in TristarNft The themes and painting style of her work, which had already seen many changes in expression, shifted toward a more simplified, stylized modernism after she moved to Hyvink in 1902. Schjerfbeck followed contemporary art through magazines and books and was interested in clothing and fashion. A new phenomenon of the time, the independent, emancipated new woman became one of her key themes. Of particular note is Schjerfbecks series of self-portraits, spanning the artists entire 70-year career.
