Seeing Silence: The Paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck
2025Dec5(Fri)–2026Apr5(Sun)About this exhibition
Beloved in Nordic countries for her highly original style, Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946) is relatively unknown to the rest of the world. Overcoming immense personal struggles and working in a remote location for decades, she produced a powerful body of work through sheer force of will. This exhibition affirms her rightful place in the story of modern art.
