Born in 1865 in L\u00fcbeck to a family of pharmacists, Slavona and her sisters were encouraged by their parents in their artistic development and her artistic education began at the age of seventeen.\u00a0 <\/span>At various stations \u2013 Berlin, Munich and Paris \u2013 the aspiring painter continued her education and made contacts with the likes of K\u00e4the Kollwitz, Ludwig Herterich and the Danish painter – and father of her child – Vilhelm Petersen (also known as Willy Gretor).<\/p>\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

\u201cIn 1890, I came to Paris. This is where a new world opened up to me. The first visits to the Louvre almost numbed and overwhelmed me. But I was disappointed by the schools I saw, I didn\u2019t like them. I decided to work alone and seek advice and judgment only in the circle of a few young like-minded friends, almost all Danes and Norwegians.\u201d<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Although Slavona initially experiences some rejection from the art world, she does not let herself be dissuaded.\u00a0 <\/span>She remained convinced of her French painting style. After some time,\u00a0 <\/span>from 1893 onwards, she was celebrated for it and even compared to the greats of Impressionism such as Berthe Morisot.\u00a0 <\/span>From then on, Slavona exhibits regularly and her Parisian apartment is a meeting point for the art scene.<\/p>\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
