Det magiske nord : Finsk og norsk kunst omkring 1900 = The Magic North : Finnish and Norwegian Art Around 1900
81: Finnish National Gallery/Ateneum Art Museum, 2015. 1st Edition. Soft Cover. Text in English and Norwegian. 236 pp.
This publication presents Finnish and Norwegian art from a bygone era when myths, folk tales, legends, and national history were all the rage, and stems from a joint exhibition organized by the National Museum in Norway and the Finnish National Gallery Ateneum. The book features several essays that situate this art within the wider context of late-nineteenth-century European symbolism. At the time, Nordic art was considered to embody a primeval force and a timeless wisdom, something that fascinated the leading thinkers of the day. This richly illustrated catalogue takes the reader on a journey towards The Magic North, with artists such as Edvard Munch, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, Gerhard Munthe, Hugo Simberg, Theodor Kittelsen, and Pekka Halonen.
