Helene Schjerfbeck, HET GEHEIM VAN FINLAND
‘Stel je het leven van Frida Kahlo verbonden me de blik van Edvard Munch voor en je begint de omvang van dit oeuvre te begrijpen’ (The Independent, Londen, ‘03) 

In 2007 the Gemeentemuseum presented the first retrospective exhibition of the work of Helene Schjerfbeck (1862 – 1946), a Finnish national icon, ever held outside Scandinavia. Sensitive landscapes, still lifes and penetrating portraits and self-portraits testify to the extraordinary talent of this unique modern artist. Schjerfbeck’s work shows a highly individual development, transforming gradually from melancholy, late 19th-century academic Realism to her own very personal style tending towards abstract Expressionism.
