The Library

One of the most used, most loved, books in my studio bookshelf. Translated from the Finnish language to Swedish, I don’t think it’s available in any other language. So you need to learn one of the two.

”At the fountains* of symbolism - early symbolism in Finland 1890 - 1895.”

Cover: ”Boy”, Magnus Enckell

Thanks for sharing Andreas. I somehow struggle with the naked boy on the title, but found out it was a prominent sujet of the artist. Also really like a lot of his other works. And I’m not very versed in Symbolism, so thanks for the inspiration to find out more.
