Maj Bring

Ebba Maria Bring, better known as Maj (Uppsala, August 29, 1880 – Stockholm, December 5, 1971) was a Swedish painter. She was the daughter of Sven Casper Bring.[1]

Bring is represented in the collection of the Moderna Museet with eleven works, seven paintings and four drawings.[2] Her portrait of Anna Behle is in the portrait collection of Gripsholm Castle.[3] She is the subject of several portraits in the Nationalmuseum collection, by Maja Braathen, Berta Hansson, Ninnan Santesson, and Carl Wilhelmson; the museum also owns her portrait of Johan Ramstedt.[4] Artistically, her style was defined by contact with Henri Matisse, with whom she studied in Paris in 1910. She continued to exhibit until she was nearly 90.[1]
