DescriptionDescription: Stig Claesson, also called Slas, has captured the actor Lena Nyman’s complex personality, a combination of frailty and strength. Her roles ranged from popular comedies to sensitive interpretations of melancholy poetry. The thin quick lines and the strong colours are characteristic of Claesson’s painting. A characteristic of the period is the cigarette in Nyman’s right hand. The red glow captures the viewer and becomes the visual centre of the painting.
