Sigrid Hjertén och Siri Derkert - två modernistiska pionjärer : En komparativ studie ur ett genusperspektiv

Sammanfattning: This essay is a comparative study and a semiotic analysis of a selection of artworks from the artists Sigrid Hjertén and Siri Derkert. The purpose of this paper is to study the artworks from a gender perspective. The purpose is also to examine if there are reflections and connections in their art that reflects both of the artist lives and if they in some way exceeded the norm. From each artist I have chosen artworks with similar motives, a self-portrait, one where they have painted their children, and one of an exotic woman.
