"Sigrid Hjertén is one of Scandinavia's leading modernist painters and was also one of Matisse's favorite pupils at the Academie Matisse. Her career as an artist stretched over three decades. The decorative paintings of the 1910s with their strong lines and solid colours gave way, during the 1920s, to a more intimate type of colourful expressionism, leading on to the visionary paintings of the 1930s." // **Somewhat heavy item.
