A groundbreaking introduction to Scandinavian artist Helene Schjerfbeck through the paintings and drawings that mark her as an exceptional modernist   In this richly illustrated study, leading scholars reevaluate the role of Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946) in the history of modernism by highlighting pivotal passages in her sixty-year career—from her training at the Finnish Art Society and remarkable early success to her studies in Paris and St. Ives and eventual return to Finland.

A groundbreaking introduction to Scandinavian artist Helene Schjerfbeck through the paintings and drawings that mark her as an exceptional modernist   In this richly illustrated study, leading scholars reevaluate the role of Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946) in the history of modernism by highlighting pivotal passages in her sixty-year career—from her training at the Finnish Art Society and remarkable early success to her studies in Paris and St. Ives and eventual return to Finland. There, in relative isolation, she pared down figure paintings and still lifes to near abstraction while introducing greater complexity in her canvases. Long celebrated in Finland and Sweden, Schjerfbeck is relatively unknown to the rest of the world. This book, the first major study in English of the artist’s work, provides fresh insight into her idiosyncratic processes and discusses the series of haunting self-portraits that she painted in her final years, which stand among the twentieth century’s most extraordinary self-examinations. Seeing Silence: The Paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck introduces an extraordinary Nordic artist who realized her own unique vision with passionate determination, despite personal adversity and her homeland’s turbulent political history.   Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press   Exhibition Schedule:   The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (December 5, 2025–April 5, 2026)
