‘Three Northern Lights: The unique visions of Nikolai Astrup. (1880-1928) Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946) and Hilma af Klint (b 1862 d 1944)
Cindy Polemis explores the work of three leading Scandinavian artists with very different styles and practice:the eerie and sublime landscapes of Norwegian artist Nicolas Astrup , the haunting portraits of Finnish painter Helen Schjerfbeck, and the extraordinary shapes and swirls of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, now considered to be one of Europe’s first abstract artists.
