Muut tiedot

After the return from Paris in 1911 Sigrid Hjertén and her husband Isaac Grünewald moved to an apartment at Kornhamstorg in Stockholm, but later, between 1915-1919 they settled at Katarinavägen. The apartment and the view outside the window became a recurring part of Hjertén’s motifs. She spent a lot of time at home taking care of their son Iván while her husband traveled and organized exhibitions for the Swedish Matisse pupils. Aside for tender depictions of Iván she painted several fauvist and expressive paintings depicting the changing cityscape outside her window with boats, machines and workers at Skeppsbron. ”Det blå lokomotivet/The blue locomotive” is a magnificent example of that.
