"I don't do much painting anymore."

Sigrid Hjertén was a Swedish artist and a pioneer of Expressionism. Her paintings are powerful, vibrant, and often deeply personal—landscapes, portraits, and everyday scenes infused with emotion and movement. She was married to Isaac Grünewald. She suffered from mental illness and passed away as a result of a lobotomy. Film tip from PAP: Sigrid & Isaac (2005).
