Ester Henning:
a special artist

The Swedish artist Ester Henning who suffered from schizophrenia was treated in mental hospitals during 66 years. During that time she produced a large number of works of art. Some of these are shown at Bror Hjorth's Hus in Uppsala in mars-april in 2001. This exhibition will hopefully contribute to the growing interest in art created by psychically ill persons.
