Denmark is for an exhibition (mørkets lys or the light of darkness) in 1996 featuring work by Helene Schjerfbeck. A leader in Finnish and Scandanavian modernism, this is her \"selvportræt med sort baggrund\" or \"Self portrait on black background\" from 1915.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 37.5 in x 23.5 in (95 cm x 60 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nPrinted by Permild \u0026amp; Rosengreen\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: scratch top left corner, see photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelene Schjerfbeck was a Finnish painter. A modernist painter, she is known for her realist works and self-portraits, and also for her landscapes and still lifes. Throughout her long life, her work changed dramatically beginning with French-influenced realism and plein air painting. It gradually evolved towards portraits and still life paintings. At the beginning of her career she often produced historical paintings, such as the Wounded Warrior in the Snow (1880), At the Door of Linköping Jail in 1600 (1882) and The Death of Wilhelm von Schwerin (1886). Historical paintings were usually the realm of male painters, as was the experimentation with modern influences and French radical naturalism. As a result, her works produced mostly in the 1880s did not receive a favourable reception until later in her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206267969923,"sku":"LI530","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.6669828958_3p5q.jpg?v=1768970332","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1996-helene-schjerfbeck-poster-self-95040","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
