children with genitals visible, children whose limbs have been amputated, violence against children etc.

“She was recently awarded the second prize of the Carnegie Art Award for Nordic Painting for four self-portraits
that tell of her sorrow over the death of her husband, the author Göran Tunström. Using herself and members of her immediate family as models and actors in her work, she draws inspiration from her own childhood and experiences, however, her art is not only private and personal, it is above all universal.”

Lena Birgitta Cronqvist Tunström (born 1938) is a Swedish painter, graphic artist and sculptor. Considered to be
one of Scandinavia's most prominent Expressionists, her biographically-inspired works include self portraits, some with her child, sometimes depicting the unpleasant features of life. She has illustrated the books of her late
husband Göran Tunström and created lithographs for one of August Strindberg's plays. As a sculptor, she has
worked with glass and bronze. Her artworks have been widely exhibited and are in the collections of National
museet and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
Biography
Cronqvist's sculpture Hand i Hand, Karlstad (2010)
Born in Karlstad on 31 December 1938,[4] Lena Cronqvist studied at Stockholm's Konstfack (1958–1959) and at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts (1959–1964). In 1964, she married the writer Göran Tunström who died in 2000.
When she was 18, Cronqvist visited the Munch Room in Norway's National Gallery in Oslo. Edvard Munch's art left a lasting impression on her. The works she created in her "death series" are reminiscent of Munch's paintings.
Cronqvist gained prominence in Sweden in the mid-1960s, creating not only paintings and graphics but textiles and sculptures. Her bold, intensive colourings contribute to her rather harsh expressionism, re-introducing a personalized approach in Swedish art. Depicting hospital scenes, Madonnas and girls playing morbid games, as well as many biographical portrayals, her work in the 1960s and 1970s frequently depicted scenes of anguish and illness. She has illustrated the books of her late husband Göran Tunström and created a series of lithographs for Strindberg's Ett Drömspel. As a sculptor, she has worked with glass and bronze. Her artworks have been widely exhibited and are in the collections of Nationalmuseet and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
Awards
In 1994, Cronqvist was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal. She has a long relationship with her native Karlstad. Her bronze sculpture Hand i hand stands in its Museiparken. In 2012, the city awarded her its Fröding Stipendium
"The artist’s perverse obsessions, which are morally objectionable in themselves, should never have been put on display at the European Parliament, particularly at a time when child abuse and crimes committed against children continue to be of major concern to EU citizens. 1. Is the Commission aware of Lena Cronqvist’s other ‘works’?"
