Elga Sesemann: Self-Portrait, 1945.
Finnish National Gallery Collection, Ateneum Art Museum.
Modern Classics: Elga Sesemann
Elga Sesemann’s (1922–2007) life story is an exceptional and compelling example of a professional woman artist’s career in Finland. Her first solo exhibition in Helsinki in 1945 immediately drew the attention of critics and the art public. Sesemann was regarded as an original colourist, and her paintings were compared to those of Edvard Munch and Helene Schjerfbeck. Throughout her art, she repeatedly returned to memories of her childhood and youth in Vyborg, as well as to her evacuation journey following the outbreak of the Winter War.
