Ateneum Publications Vol. 141. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 2020. Transl. Don McCracken Magnus Enckell may not be a household name but some of his works are very well known. Boy with Skull (1892) and The Awakening (1894) are paintings that have retained their fascination for generations in Finnish art history. But what was Enckell like, as a man and an artist? How did his career begin and how did it progress from the late 19th to the early 20th century? Enckell was already an influential person from a young age, and his interests and bold artistic experiments were the subject of much attention. His artistic career differed from others of his generation, not least because from the start, he received support from Finland’s most prominent artist, Albert Edelfelt, who also later served as his mentor, yet he was also very international in his artistic taste. When many of his fellow artists were involved with the transnational ideas of national revival, Enckell’s interests were focussed on international art and especially on Symbolism. Enckell’s life as an artist is intriguingly contradictory, and on a personal level he was apparently complex and often divided opinion.1 Yet he had many supporters, and he influenced ideas and perceptions about art among his close artist friends. Enckell was also good at networking and he forged his own international connections with artists in Paris.

While there is still fairly little research on the manifestations of esoteric ideas in Scandinavian artistic milieus, Finnish scholars have in recent years come to the forefront in the study of how fin-de-siècle occultism affected national painters, and intersected with dominant currents such as romanticism, folklore traditions, and Finland, from June to October 2020.

While art-historical scholarship on the subject has already been broadly established, there has not been a joint project that examines this phenomenon on a wider scale analysing the multifarious connections and correspondences that helped shape the identities of each of these modern nations. The ‘European Revivals’ project therefore aims to study and show the similarities and differences of these countries for the first time on a European scale, exploring different aspects at each conference. The aim of the 2012 international conference was to continue the ‘European Revivals’ project in Helsinki by drawing together national museums and galleries and scholars for its second conference in the series, held at the Ateneum Art Museum, Finnish National Gallery, Helsinki. It was accompanied by an extensive exhibition on Helene Schjerfbeck (1862−1946). This major retrospective showed artworks from throughout her career, extending from the 1870s to 1940s. 2 European Revivals: Modern Identities Conference // 10–12 October 2012 --- FNG Research Issue No. 1/2015.

  • PAIKANTUNEITA HALUJA Seksuaalisuus Tila Ja Christer Tuotannossa Kihlmanin Mikko Carlson
    114 MIKKO CARLSON - Paikantuneita haluja CARLSON - Paikantuneita MIKKO Homoseksuaalisuuden ja seksuaalisen toiseuden kuvaukset ovat olleet suomalaisessa kirjallisuudessa pitkään kartoitta- maton alue. Identiteettipoliittisen ulostulokirjallisuuden pe- rinteen puuttuminen ei ole kuitenkaan estänyt käsittelemäs- tä aihetta. Mikko Carlsonin tutkimus suomenruotsalaisen kirjailijan Christer Kihlmanin tuotannosta pureutuu 1970- ja 1980-luvuilla julkaistuihin teoksiin, joiden ilmestyminen osui kiinnostavaan seksuaalipoliittiseen murroskohtaan. Millä tavoin normeja rikkova seksuaalisuus suhteutuu kulttuu- riseen tilaan? Miten Kihlmanin teokset murtavat seksuaalista kahtiajakoa? Mitä ovat kaapista ulostulon erityiset kulttuuriset Seksuaalisuus ja tila Christer Kihlmanin tuotannossa reunaehdot, kun suomenruotsalainen kulttuuri vaihtuu latina- laisamerikkalaiseen Argentiinaan?

Leininger-Miller: Sibelius and the World of Art Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 14, no. 1 (Spring 2015) Sibelius and the World of Art Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki, Finland October 17, 2014–March 22, 21015 This past fall and winter, the Ateneum Art Museum mounted a sprawling, multisensory exhibition, Sibelius and the World of Art, to celebrate the legendary Finnish composer, Johann Christian (Jean) Sibelius (1865–1957), on the 150th anniversary of the year of his birth. Over 200 paintings, sculptures, and objects were on view, many for the first time, and visitors could listen to recordings of Sibelius’s compositions on audio tapes or in each of the galleries. The display included art from the maestro’s private collection and personal items from his home, Ainola, near Lake Tuusula. With the composer having been on the list of the most famous Finns for decades, it is surprising that this was the first exhibition of its kind. Ateneum curators Anna-Maria von Bonsdorff, Timo Huusko, and Riitta Ojanperä launched their major research project in 2011 to explore how art influenced Sibelius and the ways in which his music affected artists and their work.
