Modern Classics: Elga Sesemann

The Modern Classics series of exhibitions presents 20th-century artists from the Finnish National Gallery collections. The first artist to be featured in the series is Elga Sesemann.
Elga Sesemann’s (1922–2007) life story is an exceptional and interesting example of a professional woman artist making a career for herself in Finland.
The artist’s very first solo exhibition in Helsinki, in 1945, already drew the attention of critics and the art audience to her expressive style.
Sesemann’s artistic oeuvre is extensive, and she enjoyed an active career, with her expression constantly evolving, until the mid-1990s.
