RUTH SMITH ART MUSEUM

Museums

Ruth Smith Nielsen is a Faroese artist born in 1913. After her studies in Denmark, at the Bizzie Højer art school and then at the Copenhagen Academy of Arts, she returned to live in the small village of Nes, situated on the Vágsfjørður fjord, between the villages of Vágur and Porkeri. The young woman loved to swim in the sea. Tragically, she drowned in 1958. Inspired by Cézanne, her landscapes bear witness to the influence of the Impressionists, and color vibrates in her canvases. A keen photographer, she also enjoyed capturing the light of the Faroe Islands.

The museum is housed in the old schoolhouse where Ruth went as a child. Among the artist's paintings and drawings, one of the main works is a self-portrait painted in 1941.
