"In the Age of Abberation: Drawings, Sketches and Paintings by Vera Nilsson"

Modern Museum
Stockholm, ,

Vera Nilsson (1888 - 1979) is one of the most acclaimed Swedish 20th
century artists. The few exhibitions that took place during her lifetime
attracted a large and enthusiastic public.
She is best known as a painter, but Vera Nilsson herself often included
sketches and drawings in her exhibitions.
The rich volume of sketches in
the present exhibition intensifies the picture of a long and
many-facetted artistic life. When the sketch is focused upon, what is
emphasised is the process rather than the finished product - and it is a
grinding process, directed by an indefatigable will and a strong dose of
self-criticism.
