National Gallery of Ireland - Exhibition - Northern Stars and Southern Lights: The Golden Age of Finnish Art 1870-1920

Sat 08 Nov 2008 until Sun 01 Feb 2009

From Event details at Ireland.ie!: The National Gallery of Ireland was established by an Act of Parliament in 1854 and first opened its doors to the public in January 1864. From Event details at visitdublin.com!: This exhibition will celebrate the highpoint of Finnish art, when the country was still a Grand Duchy of Russia. It will feature major artists such as Albert Edelfelt and Akseli Gallen-Kallela, who merged native influences with international styles, such as French Impressionism.
Among the highlights of the show are Finnish symbolic landscapes and depictions of national legends and myths, particularly the Kalevala, a nineteenth-century compilation of Finnish and Karelian folklore as a significant literary source for artists.
An overview of the various trends of early twenty-century Modernism in Finland will include works from the Septem Group (Magnus Enckell, Yrjö Ollila, Ellen Thesleff and Verner Thomé) and the November Group (Tyko Sallinen, Marcus Collin and Alwar Cawén).
The exhibition is organised in collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki, part of the Finnish National Gallery.
