Sigrid Hjert\u00e9n was born in Sundsvall, Sweden in 1885. She began to paint while still in her home country, and studied to become a drawing teacher, though she dreamed of seeing the wider world. In the company of the painter Isaac Gr\u00fcnewald, her future husband, the adventurous young Swede relocated to Paris and began a course of study at Acad\u00e9mie Matisse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t

Hjert\u00e9n\u2019s instructor Henri Matisse was very enthusiastic about her expressive oil paintings \u2013 and he was not the only one. Her fine sense of colour, in particular, is still greatly appreciated by those familiar with her work. Upon her return to Sweden, Hjert\u00e9n completed many nude studies and still lifes. She played an active role in the Stockholm art scene, where she was the only female member of progressive artists\u2019 groups De Atta (The Eight) and De Unga (The Young Ones).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
