... I will paint in the exhibition space for three days before the opening. I will use my grandmother’s sketches and photos of her paintings as my inspirational source. She, Beth Zeeh, was also a painter. She went to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in the 1930’s and married her professor: Professor Reitterer. Before the beginning of the World War II she decided to leave Vienna and her husband and went back home to Sweden. This year, 2016, it is eighty years since her paintings where exhibited in Vienna at the Neue Galerie at Grünangergasse.
