More information

Maj Bring's paintings will be shown at a important art museum during the autumn of 2020.
Uppsala Art Museum presents a large retrospective exhibition, "This is me", with Maj Bring's paintings until 11 October 2020.

With this exhibition, Uppsala Art Museum wants to highlight Maj Bring's artistry and work.
It is a large exhibition with works from the early years of study at Valand Art School in Gothenburg and the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm to the later collages during the 1960s.

In recent years, important efforts have been made to highlight important, but forgotten Swedish female art pioneers and artistry. The work has resulted in Hilma af Klint, Maj Bring, Tora Vega Holmström, Vera Nilsson and Siri Derkert, among others, now being respected and ranked as highly as male contemporary colleagues of the same age.

Some of Maj Bring's paintings was exhibited at Waldemarsudde 2014, at the exhibition "Inspiration Matisse".
“Matisse students make it flicker with color. Maj Bring’s painting "Still Life with Green Cat" is a musical coloring song with amplifying yellow-red fruits on the blue barrel of the contrasting color. The color and shape of the Matisse circle were radical, aroused contemporary hatred and ridicule, and they were called "fauvists" (wild animals).
Matisse's free, emancipated and strict art school in Paris 1908–1911 became a magnet for the young artists of modernism, especially for the Swedish women who were not allowed to paint nude models at home in Sweden. Yet many of them were unjustly written off from male art history.
Waldemarsudde gives seven of Matisse's female students a detailed new presentation and takes the step of showing them all side by side with their male colleagues. ”
From a review, published in DN Kultur 2014-09-25

Maj Bring's artwork hangs at the Moderna Museet, the National Museum in Stockholm, the Agueli Museum in Sala and Borås Museum, among others museums.
At the age of 20, she began studying for Carl Wilhelmson at Valand's painting school in Gothenburg. She continued on to the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and since 1908 went down to Paris. She chose to study painting for the master Henri Matisse.
After the years in Paris, Maj Bring lived and had her studio on Söder in Stockholm. In her painting, one sees how she is influenced by the currents of the time such as realism, expressionism and cubism.
