 Works by Swedish painter and wife of fellow artist, Isaac Grunewald, Sigrid Hjerten (1885 -1948), an important figure in Swedish modern art. She was trained in textile design but went to Paris to study with Henri Matisse where she learned to use color. Tragically, she suffered from mental illness and eventually died of complications from a lobotomy.

Like her husband, Swedish painter, Isaac Grunewald (1889 - 1946), Swedish Modernist painter, Sigrid Hjerten (1885 - 1948) studied for a time with Matisse at his school in Paris--and you can see the influence. Unlike her husband, Sigrid had a difficult time being accepted by the critics. Sadly, later in her life she suffered from schizophrenia and was given a lobotomy.
