edit
Ester Helenius (1875-1955) was a Finnish artist known for the vibrant use of color in her paintings.[1] While mainly a painter, Helenius was also trained in printmaking. [2]
Background and work
editHer work remains in the collections of the Finnish National Gallery[3], the Helsinki Art Museum[4], and the Hämeenlinna Art Museum, among others.
Helenius was an artist in residence at the infamous Lallukka Artist's Home in the Etu-Töölö district of Helsinki.[5] Her art from this period is currently on display at the Helsinki Art Museum in the exhibition Lallukka – Life in the Home of Artists, alongside other well-known Finnish visual artists of the mid 20th century. [6]
Helenius' work has gained posthumous notoriety as it has been written on by Finnish art historians Ludvig Wennervirta and Tutta Palin.
Her sales records have been donated to the Hämeenlinnan Taidemuseo as part of her legacy.[7]
Tove Jannson has written of her interactions with Helenius during her time in Paris, France in her book Letters From Tove[8]
