Two danish women who fought for womens right to go to art schools. In 1874 they met each at Vilhelm Kyhns Art School for women in Copenhagen, where they were both students. They fell in love with each other, and in 1878 after their debut at the Charlottenborg exhibition in Copenhagen they opened an art school for women. The art school existed until 1913.
"Symbiose af liv og kunst", an exhibition about their lives and paintings is open until December 30 at the Women's Museum in Århus, Denmark. Here is a review (in Danish) about the exhibition.
