Seeing Silence: The Paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck
This event has already occurred
Description
While famous in Nordic countries, Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck is not well known throughout the rest of the world—even though she earned herself a place as one of the most important modern artists in history. Schjerfbeck lived a difficult life and faced many personal struggles, but she persevered and created a collection of works that showcase her highly original style for portraits and still-life paintings. This exhibition is the first in the US to showcase her work in a major art museum and includes 60 works on loan from other galleries and private collections.
