Helene Schjerfbeck
Single-minded, reclusive and chic

Love these flat, economic paintings by Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck, some almost abstract, with their casual dashes of light and shadow. Described as single-minded, reclusive and chic by Kate Kellaway in The Guardian, the words apply to both the person and the work.
