Exhibition during the summer
The varnishing day of the exhibition with
Sigrid Hjertén's pictures at Bror Hjorth's Hus in Uppsala,
Sweden, is the 9th of June, and the exhibition goes on until the
2nd of September in 2001.
Book about Hjertén based on letters
 The
exhibition at Bror Hjorth's Hus is called "I sjŠlen alltid ren"
after a book about Sigrid Hjertén with the same title, by
the Swedish author Anita Goldman. Isaac Grunewald was a maternal
uncle of Anita Goldman's father, and the author got the whole correspondence
between Sigrid and Isaac by their son. In Goldman's book, which
is based on these letters, you get very close to Sigrid and Isaac.
It is interesting but also painful to read about their destiny.
One easily forgets that Sigrid was also very successful during her
life, even if she often had a hard time. Sigrid Hjertén worked
as an artist for 30 years before psychical illness ruined her. Periodically
she was highly productive and she participated in a large number
of exhibitions.
