HJERTEN. en av Sveriges främsta konstnärer (one of Sweden’s Most Popular Artists)

Sweden 2008. Hjertén has become one of Sweden’s most popular artists; her paintings do not resemble those of any other artist of her generation. As a pioneer, she belonged to the vanguard with her paintings she challenged both the public and the critics. But being so bold and fearless was devastating for Sigrid's health. Several paintings reflect her tragic life story, especially when she assumes her own life as a woman. Another recurring motif in her art is the female body. For the first time now an art book on Hjertén is out - a magnificent work with hundreds of her masterpieces in color. Anders Wahlgren, who wrote the critically acclaimed book Sigrid and Isaac after his highly successful film of the same name, has written an introductory essay and a full caption for each work of art., Swedish, Year2008, Illust.
