	Helene Schjerfbeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helene Schjerfbeck (10 July 1862 - 28 January 1946) was a Finnish artist who has made her place in art history with her extraordinary painting talent.
		By the time Schjerfbeck was eleven, she was enrolled at the Finnish Art Society drawing school.
		Schjerfbeck then moved in 1881 to Académie Colarossi, where she studied once again with Westermarck.

	Helene Schjerfbeck
		Ninety years after Helene Schjerfbeck’s work was first presented in a one-woman show, this new exhibition features more than 120 oil paintings, watercolours and drawings from the influential painter’s extensive oeuvre.
		Having gained success and recognition for her art at a young age, Schjerfbeck’s development as a painter was shaped by periods of study in Paris and subsequent travels to Florence, St. Petersburg, Vienna, Brittany and England.
		Combining the impressionist impulse with her training in the realistic style, Schjerfbeck made a conscious decision at the turn of the century to distance herself from the National Romanticism of her Nordic colleagues and establish her own artistic identity, one that was more international in character.

		The subjects of Schjerfbeck's paintings at this time were usually her ageing mother or the women and girls from the neighbouring buildings.
		Schjerfbeck was probably inspired by her many trips to continental Europe and Italy some fifteen years earlier where she was fascinated by the works of the early Renaissance masters, such as Fra Angelico.
		Maria was one of the works Helene Schjerfbeck displayed in her first private showing held at the Stenman art salon in Helsinki in 1917.

		In Schjerfbeck's eyes, she was as radiant as a small yellow moon in the darkness.
		Although the solitary figure was a delight to Schjerfbeck, painting her became an increasing strain.
		Schjerfbeck was unable to take pleasure in her work — the likeness was never good enough.

	HS Culture 24.2.2004 - Reputation of Helene Schjerfbeck paintings growing in London
		Shadow on the Wall, an early work by Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck, was sold at the Christie's auction house in London for 490,000 euros in early February.
		Although some may find Schjerfbeck's works difficult, they are always Schjerfbecks, with their own distinct flavour.
		Her characteristic style is not dimmed by the fact that Shadow on the Wall, whose buyer came from Finland, was reportedly influenced by the style of Paul Cézanne, nor by the fact that Schjerfbeck admired Picasso and Modigliani.

		Although the writer has given her an inner voice, the artist's thoughts are undoubtedly authentic: one must not be content with being pleasant or conventional, one must break the bounds of expectations and of oneself.
		This aim is to be seen at its most naked in the self-portraits the artist painted in her old age.
		Helene had the good fortune of receiving tuition and travelling abroad, but all in all she led a rather reclusive life.

		Plagued with ill-health and disability throughout her life, Schjerfbeck was intensely sensitive to the qualities of compassion and human kindness she encountered in those around her, and this is nowhere more evident than in the portraits she painted of the people who nursed her towards the end of her life.
		Estimated at £120,000-£180,000, Schjerfbeck's Suomalainen Sairaanhoitaja (Finnish Nurse I) is a moving, highly charged depiction of one of her nurses at the sanatorium of Luontola in Nummela.
		Estimated at £15,000-£20,000, Flicka i Blått och Brunt is a charcoal preparatory sketch for the 1944 painting Inez (Portrait of a Girl in blue and brown).

	Nordic Literature
		Schjerfbeck’s angel for a large part of her life was Gösta Stenman, who like Hildén was an art-dealer.
		In Schjerfbeck’s case, the dark, life-changing event is clear: the fall down the staircase.
		The same applies to Schjerfbeck, of course – creating as the dominant thread in her life – but Liehu’s tendency towards flat narrative often puts obstacles in our way: “The bubbling swamp of the sub-conscious”.

		Others depict huge fires burning in great caves of ice, and one strangely conceptual drawing suggests a landscape with slanting rain falling on it: except that the long streaks of rain turn out to be the four letters of Hill's name repeated over and over.
		Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946) was set aside for a special existence after she fell and broke her hip at the age of 4.
		Schjerfbeck's unblinking record of the eroding action of time testifies movingly to one woman's triumphant dignity and wit.

		As an artist, Schjerfbeck made no attempt to produce an illusion of reality, but was interpreting her own inner feelings from very early on, and advanced systematically along the path she had chosen.
		The endpoint of the journey is the very last work that she ever produced, Three Pears on a Plate from 1945.
		Unveiling the Unseen is based on the touring exhibition already shown at The Tikanoja Art Museum in Vaasa and at Malmö Art Museum in Sweden.

		La primera obra importante expuesta por Schjerfbeck, Soldado herido en la nieve (1880, Ateneum, Helsinki), comprada para la colección de la Sociedad Finlandesa de Arte el mismo año en que fue pintada, muestra claramente lo que se esperaba de ella en Finlandia, donde la pintura histórica aún seguía gozando de la mayor estima.
		En la década de 1890, Helene Schjerfbeck dio clases en Helsinki, pintando poco, y, en 1902, ella y su madre se mudaron a la ciudad de Hyvinkää;.

		RAKEL LIEHU'S RECENT RELEASE based on the life of Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946), Finland's leading female painter and one of the most notable expressionists in Northern Europe, is truly a poet's novel, a rare example nowadays of all that the Finnish word kaunokirjallisuus (loosely translated as purely and expressly literary or belletristic) means.
		If it is possible to compare achievements in two entirely different art media, Liehu's style of writing, with its often light, nearly ephemeral expressions that are, nevertheless, profound and touch the reader deeply, can be seen to mirror significant aspects of Schjerfbeck's painting.
		In fact, after reading the novel, I cm-mot imagine anyone else as self-evidently suitable to author a novelistic version of Schjerfbeck's life.
