Jette Stoltz (Swedish, 1923-2010)

Jette Stoltz graduated in 1944 and then studied art at Konstfack , the Scanian School of Painting in Malmö, Otte Sköld's School of Painting and the Academy of Arts in Copenhagen. In 1951 she came to Paris where she studied with Fernand Léger.

She debuted in 1956 in Stockholm where she sold 36 paintings in three days.

Stoltz had a strong Christian faith from childhood and it is a recurring theme in her paintings. After a stay at the Franciscan monastery in Assisi in 1949, she converted to Catholicism . She returned to Italy after her studies and Rome occasionally became her residence.

In 1986, she appeared in the TV program Här är ditt liv (Here is your life, loosely based on "This is your life" show) and the magazine Kulturens Värld.
