This stunning catalogue presents portraiture by five Finnish classic artists: Elin Danielson-Gambogi, Albert Edelfelt, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Helene Schjerfbeck, and Maria Wiik. The works range from the plein air paintings of the 1800s to Schjerfbeck’s modernist paintings. The exhibition focuses on Finland’s golden age of painting in the early 1900s, a period of unbridled innovation. In this period, classical portraiture was increasingly replaced by an expressionist approach. This granted artists greater expressive freedom in capturing the personality of their subjects while also employing their own unique creative style.
