Helene Schjerfbeck is one of the best-known and most appreciated Finnish painters today. She was one of the few artists of her generation who created masterpieces in a naturalistic and impressionistic style, and was also able to shift to an entirely modern, expressionistic mode. Her intense ascetic moods create an echo for Japanese art, and at the end of her life terrifying self portraits reflect the passionate style of Picasso.
