Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931) compte parmi les artistes les plus emblématiques de l'art finlandais du tournant du XXième siècle.

Mythes et Nature » apporte un nouvel éclairage en langue française sur son ?uvre, dans une monographie exceptionnelle réalisée avec le précieux soutien de collections publiques et privées, et en particulier du Musée Gallen-Kallela d'Espoo.Ce catalogue s'attache aux liens qui unissent l'artiste à la nature et à la mythologie tout au long de sa carrière, depuis les premières ?uvres naturalistes jusqu'aux paysages symbolistes.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela was a Finnish painter and designer strongly associated with philosophy of National Romanticism, especially relating to the region of Karelia. Of exacting influence was the collection of folk poems formed in the middle of the 19th century by Elias Lönrot. Following a national competition in 1891 Gallen-Kallela illustrated this national epic known as the Kaleval, the brilliant images of which soon became widely known throughout Finland. He also made a significant contribution to the Finnish Pavilion at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900 in which he painted frescoes on Kalevala themes in the main dome, as well as designing textiles and furniture. Gallen-Kallela worked in a wide range of design media.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931) was a true homo universalis, a Renaissance man best known as a painter, but also an important figure in graphic art and an illustrator, and who designed his own live/work studios, furniture and soft furnishings. Over the course of his fin de siecle career, Gallen-Kallela progressed from realistic naturalism towards symbolism and linearity, progress particularly marked in his painted illustrations of the Scandinavian epic the Kalevala, and in sensitive portraits of subjects including Edvard Munch, Maxim Gorky and his friend Jean Sibelius. This long-overdue survey of his work appears on the 75th anniversary of his death, and on the occasion of the Holland Groninger Museum's full-scale retrospective, the first to bring such a large selection of Gallen-Kallela's work out of Scandinavia--and to the world.

Gallen-Kallela is one of the best loved artists in Finland. To the present day his work is highly appreciated in Europe and America. Alongside with Jean Sibelius's music he defines Finnish art at the time of the birth of independent Finland.

In 1999, Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s Lake Keitele (1905) became the first Finnish painting to enter the National Gallery and is now one of the most popular pictures in the collection. Although the artist and his work are relatively unknown to audiences outside of Finland, he was not only a leading figure in modern Finnish painting but an accomplished practitioner of the decorative arts and a key figure in the development of early twentieth-century Modernism.This book focuses on four versions of his shimmering depictions of Lake Keitele, north of Helsinki; a stylized lake composition which first appeared in the early 1880s, when the artist was still elaborating his own descriptive language, and continued to preoccupy him until well into the 1920s. Anne Robbins examines these abstract and modernist pictures in the light of the international avant gardes with which Gallen-Kallela was in contact for much of his career, and the ways in which his work expressed his fervent Finnish nationalism.
