Description |
English: This picture was painted in St. Ives in Cornwall, England. Helene Schjerfbeck visited the region twice in the late 1880s. The sitter in the picture was a vivacious girl of about six to whom her exasperated teacher was only too glad to give leave to sit for artists. The painting was included in the Paris Salon the year of its completion under the title Première verdure, or ‘first greenery’. A sick child was a common subject in art at the time, but Schjerfbeck’s painting is also about recovery and the return of vitality. The brushwork is lively and the treatment of light is reminiscent of impressionism. The painting was praised in Paris. The reception back home was initially controversial – the picture was considered excessively realistic. However, the Finnish Art Society decided to purchase it, and soon after its completion the painting was acceded to Ateneum’s collection.
Helene Schjerfbeck had an exceptionally long and productive career. She began art studies at the age of 11, and by the time she died at 83 she had painted well over a thousand pictures. Her path as an artist ranged from history paintings in the 1870s to modernist movements in the 1940s.
Suomi: Teos on maalattu Englannin Cornwallissa St. Ivesin kylässä. Helene Schjerfbeck vieraili seudulla kahteen otteeseen 1880-luvun lopulla. Mallina oli vilkas noin kuusivuotias tyttö, jolle tuskastunut opettaja antoi mielellään vapaata taiteilijoiden mallina oloa varten. Maalaus oli valmistumisvuotenaan esillä Pariisin Salongin näyttelyssä nimellä Première verdure, ensi viherrys. Sairas lapsi oli ajan taiteessa usein toistuva aihe, mutta Schjerfbeckin teos kertoo yhtä paljon elämänvoimien palautumisesta. Sivellintyöskentely on eloisaa ja valon käsittely lähenee impressionismia. Teos sai Pariisissa kiitosta. Vastaanotto kotimaassa oli aluksi ristiriitainen – teknistä suoritusta kiitettiin, mutta teosta pidettiin toisaalta liiankin realistisena. Suomen Taideyhdistys päätti kuitenkin ostaa Toipilaan, ja se liitettiin Ateneumin kokoelmiin pian valmistumisensa jälkeen.
Helene Schjerfbeckin taiteilijanura oli poikkeuksellisen pitkä ja tuottelias. Hän aloitti taideopinnot 11-vuotiaana ja ehti 83-vuotiaana päättyneen elämänsä aikana maalata yli tuhat teosta. Taiteilijantie ulottui 1870-luvun historiamaalauksista aina 1940-luvun modernistisiin virtauksiin.
Svenska: Verket är målat i byn St. Ives i Cornwall, England. Schjerfbeck besökte regionen i två repriser i slutet av 1880-talet. Modellen var en livlig, cirka sex år gammal flicka som fick ledigt för att stå modell då hennes lärare blev irriterad på henne. Samma år målningen blev färdig ställdes den ut i Salongen i Paris med titeln Première verdure, första grönskan. Sjuka barn var ett ofta återkommande motiv i den tidens konst, men Schjerfbecks verk talar lika mycket om hur livskraften återvänder. Penselföringen är livfull och Schjerfbecks sätt att gestalta ljuset närmar sig impressionismen. Målningen fick också goda recensioner i Paris. Även om mottagandet i hemlandet till en början var konfliktfyllt – verket ansågs rentav för realistiskt – köpte Finska Konstföreningen Konvalescenten som därigenom införlivades med Ateneums samlingar.
Helene Schjerfbecks konstnärskarriär var ovanligt lång och produktiv. Hon inledde sina konststudier som 11-åring och hann innan hon slutade sin levnad 83 år gammal göra över ettusen verk. Konstnärsbanan sträckte sig från 1870-talets historiemåleri till 1940-talets modernistiska strömningar. |
