On display are the finest works of the greats of Finnish modernist art, including the likes of Alvar Caw\u00e9n<\/strong>, V\u00e4in\u00f6 Kunnas,<\/strong> Jalmari Ruokokoski<\/strong>, Tyko Sallinen<\/strong> and Yrj\u00f6 Ollila<\/strong>.<\/p>\n An exhibition showcasing the works of well-known Finnish modernist painters of the first decades of the 20th century has opened today at the Kadriorg Art Museum in Tallinn. These experimenters and rebellious artists wanted to express their inner thoughts, feelings and experiences in their work, rather than the more traditional politically motivated art of the time.<\/p>\n As such, the focus of the exhibition, which includes works by the likes of Alvar Caw\u00e9n, V\u00e4in\u00f6 Kunnas, Jalmari Ruokokoski, Tyko Sallinen and Yrj\u00f6 Ollila, is on people and the environment. The artist’s interest in the physical and spiritual nature of man and the depiction of its more hidden and darkest sides are in dialogue with the expressed vitality and harmonious depiction of nature used in landscape paintings.<\/p>\n “The era of bright colors was short-lived in the history of Finnish art, but this exhibition has received several works from painters who cultivate free brushwork and the joy of color. Among them were Magnus Enckell<\/strong>, Yrj\u00f6 Ollila and Ellen Thesleff<\/strong>. The works in the exhibition have many similarities with the works of the classic Estonian modernist artists such as <\/span>Konrad M\u00e4gi<\/strong> and Nikolai Triiginnii<\/strong>, both in terms of bright colors and the choice of theme,” says Kerttu M\u00e4nniste<\/strong>, the curator of the exhibition.<\/p>\n The exhibition will be on display in the Kadriorg Art Museum until August 20, 2023.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new exhibition entitled \u201cThe Dance of Colours: Finnish Modernist Art\u201d openes tomorrow at the Kadriorg Art Museum in … Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":116528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[16030,17860,17861,17862,13494,15019,15196],"class_list":["post-116535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-kadriorg-art-museum","tag-modernist-art","tag-finnish-modernist-art","tag-finnish-art","tag-kadriorg-2","tag-art-2","tag-art-exhibition"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
