    A Show of Emotion

    Issue No. 3/2018 A Show of Emotion Interview by Gill Crabbe, FNG Research As the Sinebrychoff Art Museum prepares to stage an exhibition on painting and the theatre, Gill Crabbe meets the show’s curator Laura Gutman, to discuss the research she carried out in order to bring this topic to life Meeting the independent curator Laura Gutman is like meeting a detective. As curator of several shows in Finland, where she moved from Paris 17 years ago, including the recent acclaimed ‘Air de Paris’ exhibition at Helsinki Art Museum (HAM), she has used her research skills and background studying art history under Guy Cogeval at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris in the 1990s to impressive effect in Finland. Not only has she been making intriguing connections between Finnish artists and their European counterparts, but also deepening understanding of European artworks in Finnish collections. It is a busy year for Gutman as she is now in the final stages of preparing a show on theatre and painting from the 17th to early 20th centuries titled ‘Moved to Tears: Staging Emotions’ at the Sinebrychoff Art Museum in Helsinki. The museum is an appropriate setting for such a subject as it is the house of the collector Paul Sinebrychoff, whose wife Fanny Grahn was herself an actress, and their rooms on the first floor are laid out almost as a series of theatrical sets, each reflecting a period from his collection. The theme of the Sinebrychoff exhibition which is held in the galleries on the ground floor, is also a subject close to Gutman’s heart, since at the Ecole du Louvre she studied the theoretical and philosophical background to painting and theatre ‘from David to Degas’.

Earlier research in the Förord / Editorial 3 fields of social history, art history and visual rhetorics has been consulted for this pur- pose. After 1848, emerging socialist parties and labour unions depended on republican Søren Kaspersen “Quale sit intus in his” – A Note about Abbot Suger's 9 iconography for their manifestation of collective identity. The republican virtues of Bronze Doors in Saint-Denis Liberty, Equality and Fraternity remained important, but Fraternity was gradually re- placed or merged with Unity and Solidarity.

    Föglö Kyrka Från Medeltid Till Nutid

    Heikki Hanka Kyrkokonstens och den visuella kulturens epoker FÖGLÖ KYRKA FRÅN MEDELTID TILL NUTID Föglö medeltida kyrka på Åland gör ett sakligt och okonstlat intryck på besökaren. Artikeln granskar med hjälp av källkritisk närläsning textmaterial och originalkäl- lor som berör kyrkan och dess föremål. Detta kunskapsunderlag, i kombination med observationer som gjorts på plats, öppnar för betydelser som ligger bakom kyrkans nuvarande utformning och ger också insyn i dess äldre historiska skeden. Den skenbara arkaismen döljer ett konsthistoriskt rikt landskap. Finska fornminnesföreningen, grundad år 1870, åtog sig uppdraget att vårda kulturarvet genom att organisera konsthistoriska expeditioner vars mål var att identifiera och dokumentera vårt lands konsthistoriskt betydelsefulla platser. Fram till år 1902 organiserades åtta fältexpeditioner varav den första på som- maren 1871 riktades till Åbo med omgivningar och Åland.1 I slutet av juli be- sökte en expedition bestående av åtta personer, ledd av Emil Nervander, även Föglö.2 Denna artikel är en hedersbetygelse till föreningens banbrytande insats för fornminnesforskningen i vårt land. Samtidigt får vi tacka föreningen för att den konsthistoriska forskningens första frön såddes och att studiet av kyrko- konst inleddes. Även om mycket har förändrats under de gångna 150 åren, så är de forskningsmetoder som expeditionerna skapade och använde fortfarande grundläggande verktyg i den konsthistoriska forskningen. Via observationer gjorda på plats och insamling av kunskapsskärvor från varierande källmaterial fortsätter den nutida forskaren i de konsthistoriska expeditionernas fortspår. Kyrkorna har, förutom agerat plats för religionsutövning, också varit en cen- tral del av det finska kulturarvet. Överföringen av kyrkans kulturarv till fram- tiden är utmanande. Både den evangelisk-lutherska och den ortodoxa kyrkan utreder för närvarande i sina strategier hur de bör förvalta kyrkans materi- ella och immateriella kulturarv3.

    1 Between Defeat and Victory: Finnish Memory Culture of the Second

    This is the accepted manuscript of the article, which has been published in Scandinavian Journal of History. 2012, 37(4), 482-504. https://doi.org/10.1080/03468755.2012.680178 Between defeat and victory: Finnish memory culture of the Second World War Ville Kivimäki, Åbo Akademi University, Finland Abstract: The article focuses on five essential phenomena in the Finnish memory culture of the three Finnish wars fought in 1939–45, namely, 1) the memory of the fallen; 2) the influential work by author Väinö Linna; 3) the contested memory politics and veteran cultures in the 1960s and 1970s; 4) Germany and the Holocaust in the Finnish memory culture; 5) and the ‘neo-patriotic’ turn in the commemoration of the wars from the end of the 1980s onwards. The Finnish memory culture of 1939–45 presents an interesting case of how the de facto lost wars against the Soviet Union have been shaped into cornerstones of national history and identity that continue to have significance even today. Using the growing research literature on the various aspects of the Finnish war memories and memory politics, the article aims, first, at outlining a synthesis of the memory culture’s central features and, second, at challenging the common contemporary conception, according to which the Finnish war veterans would have been forgotten, neglected and even disgraced during the post-war decades to be ‘rehabilitated’ only from the end of the 1980s onwards.

    The Image of Marshal Mannerheim, Moral Panic, and the Refashioning of the Nation in the 1990S

    CHAPTER 14 The Image of Marshal Mannerheim, Moral Panic, and the Refashioning of the Nation in the 1990s Tuomas Tepora INTRODUCTION The end of the Cold War resulted in radical changes in Finland’s interna- tional position and economy. It sparked an identity struggle, seen within society as soul-searching. One of the major national symbolic fgures, Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (1867–1951), the Civil War (1918) and World War II military leader and the President of Finland (1944–1946), became a mirror in this collective introspection. This chap- ter addresses the personality cult surrounding Marshal Mannerheim, as well as the alternating images of him, as keys to understanding the emo- tional and social upheavals within Finnish society in the early 1990s. The chapter focuses on the debate in the early 1990s concerning the construction of the Museum of Contemporary Art next to the Mannerheim T.

TEPORA equestrian statue at the heart of Helsinki. The debate offers invaluable insight into the emotional memory politics, the layers of memories, and future expectations in the post-Cold War nation. In the early 1990s, the Mannerheim statue and contemporary art formed an oxymoron that seemed to threaten the moral base of the nation. The juxtaposition sym- bolized a moral panic that concerned the lived experience of Finland’s changing international position.

    Artist Brothers Magnus, Wilhelm and Ferdinand Von Wright at the Intersection of Art and Science // Anne-Maria Pennonen --- FNG Research Issue No

    Issue No. 6/2017 Artist Brothers Magnus, Wilhelm and Ferdinand von Wright at the Intersection of Art and Science Anne-Maria Pennonen, MA, Curator, Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki Also published in Erkki Anttonen & Anne-Maria Pennonen (eds.), The Brothers von Wright – Art, Science and Life. Ateneum Publications Vol. 99. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 11–34. Transl. Wif Stenger Magnus, Wilhelm and Ferdinand von Wright are integral figures in the history of science and culture in 19th-century Finland and Sweden. They are sometimes referred to as if they were one and the same person, although each had his own, distinct career. The brothers are best known for their paintings and prints of birds but, as well as scientific illustrations, the work of Magnus and Ferdinand also includes many drawings, paintings and still-lifes. In fact, the eldest of the brothers, Magnus, became one of the most prominent landscape painters in Finland in the 1840s, and the youngest, Ferdinand, in the 1850s. Ferdinand also painted several portraits. The middle brother, Wilhelm, who made his career in Sweden, concentrated on scientific illustration, mostly in graphic prints. Over the many years of depicting and observing birds, the brothers acquired a depth of scientific knowledge that justifies calling them ornithologists; Magnus in particular is generally considered to be a pioneer of Finnish ornithology.1 It is clear, when we look at their work, that their careers unfolded at the intersection of science and art, and it is sometimes difficult to tell the two apart. While the works are regarded stylistically as part of the tradition of Biedermeier or Romanticism, the scientific accuracy and detail of the pictures is far more important.

    ABSTRACTS Another Horizon Session 1 Asher E. Miller, Assistant

    ABSTRACTS Another Horizon Session 1 Asher E. Miller, Assistant Curator, Department of European Paintings The Metropolitan Museum of Art Northerners in Italy: Interaction, Transmission, Collaboration The point of departure for this talk is the Metropolitan Museum’s holdings of early nineteenth-century paintings and oil sketches by northern European artists working in Rome and Naples. Featuring works by figures ranging from Eckersberg and Koch to Catel and Granet, as well as their younger contemporaries, the Met’s collection was formed in recent years through a combination of curatorial initiative and the passion of local private collectors: it is, therefore, still in its youth. This presentation addresses questions of interaction, transmission, and collaboration between northern artists stemming from the research and display of these pictures. Specific areas of focus include artists of various national origins looking closely at the same iconic motifs, artists learning from one another’s methods and works, and artistic partnerships, notably between Heinrich Reinhold and Johann Joachim Faber, who sketched together at Olevano Romano in the early 1820s. Jens Peter Munk, MA (History of Art) Copenhagen Life among foreign artists in Rome as seen from a Danish perspective In my monograph on Danish Golden Age painter Jørgen Roed (2013) I dedicated a chapter to the life of Danish artists in Rome at that time.
