Abstract

Go on a journey into the vast, fantastic world of wood art with this remarkable volume. As the introductory text shows through the history of wood art the unique capacity for expression and life of this very special medium, the magnificent photographs that fill the book demonstrate the stunning mastery of Finnish artists throughout the history of the country, to give life to wood in their varied styles. Finally, the trip is made complete with the examples of Finnish literature and the delicate beauty of Finnish poetry, that celebrate wood as an essential element in the national culture, as well as some stories on the importance of trees not only for Finland, but the world.

Abstract

"This extensive publication, complete with hundreds of illustrations by such renowned artists as Carl Larsson, Edvard Munch, Vilhelm Hammershoi, Pekka Halonen, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Christopher Dresser, Pietro Krohn, Alf Wallander, and Frida Hansen, among others, offers an unprecedented study of Japanese influence on the visual arts in the Nordic countries. This unlikely diffusion of Japanese culture, known collectively as Japonisme, became increasingly apparent in England, France, and elsewhere in Europe during the 19th century, although nowhere was the influence seemingly as pervasive as it was throughout the Nordic countries. The book reveals how the widespread interest in Japanese aesthetics helped to establish notions of a fundamental unity between the arts and transformed the region's visual vocabulary. The adoption of Japanese motifs and styles in Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark provided a necessary cohesion to their existing artistic language, forming a vital balance within and among all of the applied arts."--Publisher.
