Life Under Threat

Life Under Threat / Sinebrychoff Art Museum

I have not yet shared with you these photos from my art museum visit in February - no one knows when the museums shall open their doors again. The exhibition was about animals & nature. The pandemic had not yet exploded in Europe and the USA, now human lives are threatened, too. 

"The exhibition presents visions of animals and nature from the 16th century to today. The artworks convey the relationship humans have had with animals and with nature through the ages. In the western worldview, animals and nature are viewed as something that exists for humans. In reality, humans are merely a part of the whole. Understanding co-existence helps to preserve living space both for humans and for all other creatures." 

I liked the fact that the exhibition featured both newer and older art and many styles. My own favorites were eg. Akseli Gallén-Kallela’s series of small landscapes and the mysterious plant painting of Hjalmar Munsterhjelm. I’ll share some paintings, unfortunately I don’t know the names of all the artists.

Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865–1931) / This set of small paintings was wonderful!

I wish you all are well and are able to enjoy the spring. I am ok, but less online,

because there is so much to do in the garden right now.

All the best, riitta
