Eva Bonnier (artist)

Self-portrait, Bonnierska portraitsamling , 1886

Eva Frederika Bonnier (born November 17, 1857 in Stockholm ; † January 13, 1909 in Copenhagen ) was a Swedish painter, sculptor and patroness .

Life

She was the daughter of the publisher Albert Bonnier and his wife Betty (nee Rubenson). Hanna Pauli , a friend since childhood, was the daughter of her aunt Sophie's brother, wife of Adolf Bonnier . Like Pauli later, she learned from August Malmström and from 1878 studied at the Stockholm Art Academy . After she had finished this in the spring of 1883, she first went to Switzerland, then to Paris. Her French teachers were Raphaël Collin , Gustave Courtois and Pascal Adolphe Dagnan-Bouveret , all of whom taught at the Académie Colarossi . Interrupted by short stays, she stayed in Paris until 1889.

She was briefly engaged to the sculptor Per Hasselberg in 1891 .

In 1904 she had a summer house with a studio built in Dalarö , which she visited regularly as a child, the Villa Jungfruberget . The house, which was designed by the architect Ragnar Östberg , can be assigned to the Swedish Art Nouveau. In Dalarö, she often met Anders Zorn and Richard Bergh .

Her promotion of Swedish artists, which she had begun while she was still alive, continued after Bonnier's death, as she set up a fund in her will ( Eva Bonnier's donationsfond för konstnärlig utsmykning av offentliga byggnader och platser i Stockholm ).

plant

Bonnier's work mainly includes paintings in which she portrayed acquaintances, such as her housekeeper Maria Banck in Hushållerskan from 1890 . She also made sculptures and a few handicrafts. Bonnier's pictures can be found, for example, in the Swedish National Museum and in the Bonnierska portrait collection , which was founded by her brother Karl Otto Bonnier .
