Biography
Vera Amalia Märta Nilsson (1888–1979) was a Swedish painter and a peace activist. One of Sweden's most prominent Expressionists, she is remembered in particular for her paintings of children, including her daughter Ginga, and for her landscapes, often scenes of Öland where she spent her summers. Her anti-war sentiments are vividly expressed in Penning conta liv, painted during the Spanish Civil War in 1939. In the 1960s, she painted works protesting nuclear war. Her work is represented in museums and galleries in Sweden and abroad, including Nationalmuseet and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
