Opintovuosien jälkeen ystävyys jatkuikin tiiviinä Pariisissa vuosina 1891-1893. Magnus Enckell sai asuttavakseen Albert Edelfeltin Pariisin ateljeen, ja Thesleff ja Enckell viettivät siellä aikaa yhdessä työskennellen. Marginaalisuus nähtiin Pariisin boheemeissa symbolistipiireissä kiihottavana ja tavoiteltavana, ja Magnuskin oli avoin homoseksuaalisuudestaan. Se ei estänyt hänen ja Thesleffin ystävyyttä - päinvastoin, he olivat molemmat marginaalissa, toinen sukupuolensa ja toinen seksuaalisen suuntautumisensa takia. [...] Edelfeltin boheemissa ateljeessa vietettiin pitkiä iltoja työtä ja ajatuksia jakaen. Kattoon pingotetuilla naruilla istuskeli Enckellin katukaupasta ostamia pikkulintuja. Thesleff kertoo kirjeessään sisarelleen, kuinka "Edelfeltin ateljee on uskomattoman miellyttävä, korkea ja iso ja sieltä on vapaa näköala. Nyt minä olen kuitenkin hieman peloissani, että voi tulla puheita, että minä käytän Edelfeltin ateljeeta - telinettäni en ikinä kasaisi sinne - tämä on kovin viatonta - me istumme ja piirrämme luonnoskirjaan. Enckellin mielestä on naurettavaa tulla moisiin ajatuksiin. Hän näkee ateljeen omanaan ja että hänellä on oikeus kutsua sinne vieraita, niin kuin haluaa. Niinhän se toki onkin, mutta tarinoita syntyy enemmän kuin helposti."

More about the Artist:

Ellen Thesleff (October 5, 1869 – January 12, 1954) was an expressionist Finnish painter, regarded as one of the leading Finnish modernist painters.

Thesleff was born in Helsinki, the eldest daughter of five siblings and her father was an amateur painter. She took private lessons and then, in 1887, studied for two years at the Finnish Art Society Drawing School (now known as the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts).

In 1891, Tesleff moved to Paris and enrolled into Académie Colarossi.

Thesleff spent all of her life in Finland, France, and Italy, visiting Italy first in 1894. In Finland, she had a family estate at Murole, Ruovesi. She never married.

Thesleff took part in many big exhibitions in the 20th century, in particular, in 1949 her paintings were on display on a big exhibition of Nordic art in Copenhagen and were praised by media.

At the beginning of her career, Thesleff worked on symbolist paintings . Later, she moved to expressionism and modernism, most notably landscapes.

Thesleff was included in the 2018 exhibit Women in Paris 1850-1900.

Elin Danielson-Gambogi - Self-Portrait (1900)

Elin Danielson was ten years old when her father, Karl Emil Danielson, committed suicide, despondent at the failure of the family farm. Her mother, Rosa Amalia Gestrin, encouraged her to continue her studies, with the financial help of her brother, who would be a longtime supporter of the artist. At fifteen, Danielson entered Helsinki’s Finnish Art Society Drawing School, where, in addition to drawing technique and painting, she studied painting on porcelain, training that proved invaluable in enabling her to support herself. In 1880 she obtained a teaching diploma, having taken classes with the painter Adolf von Becker, whose private school was attended by several young Finns, including Helene Schjerfbeck and Ellen Thesleff.
