artist-albert-edelfelt: Log Raft, Albert Edelfelt, 1886, Finnish National GalleryFinnish artists had different views as to the questions arising from an industrializing society. Unlike Akseli Gallen-Kallela, a proponent of a mythical Finnish identity, Albert Edelfelt was a modern artist of his time, and the signs of the industrializing society can often be seen in the background of his works: modern ships and factory chimneys. This work places “utility society”, the raw materials of wood processing industry, in the central role.http://kokoelmat.fng.fi/app?si=A+IV+2825 -- source link
