The Convalescent http://kokoelmat.fng.fi/app?si=C+III+B+II+362%3A3
As Schjerfbeck often had problems finding enough models, art dealer Gösta Stenman persuaded her to produce new versions of her old paintings in the form of lithographs. Learning a new technique at the age of 76 was not easy for Schjerfbeck. In lithography the image is drawn in wax crayon onto stone or a metal plate, then transferred onto paper. Schjerfbeck’s habit of experimenting with several lines before finding the right one did not work in lithography, which demands exactly the right line at first try. As a result, she struggled. I objected strongly to his plans because I lack the necessary drawing technique. I wipe away line after line until I hit on the right one. That’s impossible with a wax crayon and using paper or a plate. If I do that, nothing gets done – and then having drawn in mirror image with left right and the right left. (Letter to Einar Reuter Feb 15, 1939) (T) In her lithograph of The Convalescent (1938–39), she has eliminated the detail in the original work. It should be noted that Schjerfbeck has not produced a mirror image, but drawn on the plate exactly as in the original oil. As a result it is the print that comes out in mirror image.

Väinämöinen and Ikiturso http://kokoelmat.fng.fi/app?si=A+II+968%3A45
Hugo Simberg’s works often depicted imaginary subjects and original figures to depict the forces of nature. When studying under Gallen-Kallela in 1895 and 1897, Simberg was affected by the subjects in the Kalevala. The art schools of the 19th century did not exactly appreciate Simberg’s style, but luckily Gallen-Kallela encouraged him to keep his distinctive style – otherwise we might not have this fairytale-like work of the capture of the Sampo, for example. When Väinämöinen was returning to Väinölä with the Sampo, Lemminkäinen decided to ignore his warnings and began to sing for joy. Frightened by his voice, a crane screeched over Pohjola and awoke the people. When Louhi realised that the Sampo was gone, she called up a sea monster called Iku-Turso to capsize the boat and destroy the men. Väinämöinen caught Iku-Turso by the ears and cursed him to the depths of the sea forever. However, he saved Iku-Turso’s life after the monster promised never to disturb people again. Who is the man standing on the right side looking up? What is he looking at? Task: Drawing. Draw what you think the man in the work could be seeing, or the underwater world Iku-Turso lives in. You can also draw other things that you think could be outside the event depicted here.
