\have always searched for the dense depths of the soul， which have not yet been discovered by humans themselves\， she wrote， \﹣﹣ there one can make the greatest discoveries．\She experimented with different kinds of underpainting， scraped and rubbed， made bright rosy red spots； doing whatever had to be done to capture the subconscious ﹣﹣ her own and that of her models． In 1913， Schjerfbeck was rediscovered by an art dealer and journalist， Gosta Stenman． Once again she was a success．
