\nLECTURE BY ART HISTORIAN KATRIN KIVIMAA with the film “Helene” “Helene Schjerfbeck’s stardom or how one of Finland’s most popular artists became a great discovery in the international art scene”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The life and career of Helene Schjerfbeck<\/strong> (1862-1946), one of the best-known Finnish artists, was complicated in many ways. Health problems, financial constraints or difficulties in her private life did not prevent the exceptionally talented young woman from acquiring a good art education in Finland and Western Europe. However, professional recognition did not come easily: during her lifetime, her art began to be appreciated in Finland and Sweden only when Helene was already in old age. Today, Schjerfbeck is considered one of the most prominent Finnish artists, and her exhibitions are popular all over the world. Recently, he has been compared to Edvard Munch, for example. The film “Helene” tells the story of a period when a middle-aged artist living in solitude is visited by art dealer G\u00f6sta Stenman, who believes in Helene’s work and brings a young amateur artist into her life, Einar Reuter, who decades later writes Helene’s biography.<\/p>\n

Katrin Kivimaa i<\/strong>s an art historian and art critic, a senior researcher at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Her main areas of research are the work of women artists and Estonian modern and contemporary art. He has worked as a professor of art history at the Estonian Academy of Arts (2006-2017) and as an art editor of the cultural newspaper SIRP (1993-1997). In 2010, she co-curated the exhibition “Woman in Soviet Estonian Art” at the KUMU Art Museum, and from 2008 to 2010 she participated in the international working group of the major project “Gender Check: Femininity and Masculinity in the Art of Eastern Europe” in Vienna and Warsaw. In 2009, she was awarded the Ervin P\u00fctsepp Prize for the best art historical monograph of the year, “National and Modern Femininity in Estonian Art, 1850-2000”. In addition to academic publications, he publishes art criticism in Estonian cultural publications and daily newspapers. The duration of the lecture is 1 hour.
