"AQUA" BY AGNES FRUMERIE
(Swedish Women Artists' Exhibition, Vienna)
VIENNA.—At the invitation of the Society
of Austrian Women Artists (Vereinigung
bildender Kiinstlerinnen Oesterreichs),
an exhibition of work by Swedish
women artists was recently held in the Society's
galleries, where they received a cordial welcome.
The woiks exhibited showed that the women artists
of Sweden are zealously maintaining the best
artistic traditions of their country, which during
the past century and a half has produced not a few
women who have attained to distinction in the
practice of art. As long ago as 1773 Ulrica
Fredrika Pasch (whose father and sister were also
artists of note) was elected a member of the
Swedish Royal Academy. Fredrika Bremer, the
famous novelist, also showed much skill in drawing
and as a miniaturist, though few think of her in
this capacity; and another woman who excelled in
art was Maria Rohl, who delineated all the chief
326
personalities of her day. And then among others
who have made a name there is Amalie Lindegren,
who died less than a quarter of a century ago at
the age of 77, and was the first woman artist in
Sweden to be rewarded with a scholarship and sent
to study in Paris, she, too, being subsequently
elected a member of the Royal Academy.
The recent exhibition contained some excellent
examples of animal painting by Ida von Schulzen-
heim, who studied at Stockholm and in Paris.
Her preference is for dogs and cattle, which she
depicts broadly and boldly, every stroke of the
brush showing her love of her subject. She is one
of three women artists now living whose works are
honoured with a place in the National Museum,
Stockholm, the other two being Charlotte Waldstein
and Hildegard Thorell. Fanny Brate is another
serious artist with a fine feeling for colour, her
speciality being genre paintings. Anna Boberg-
Scholander has a predilection for larger canvases;
her best pictures are those depicting the life and
movement of the harbours. Gisela Trapp's altar
