I’m afraid it is not possible to give an exact answer to this question. There are some printed sources like publication Sculptures and monuments in Helsinki,1982, published by the Helsinki City Tourist Office. That one is of course old and unfortunately they don’t publish it any more so there are not any newer versions. Then there are some books in Finnish, like Löytöretki muistomerkeille, pääkaupunkiseudun julkiset teokset, 2006, and Pää...12.7.2016 14:01Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

You are right. This oil painting in question is Albert Edelfelts “Under the birches” from the year 1882. The lady on the left side is Edelfelt’s sister Annie Edelfelt. 4.3.2013 13:35Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

Rut Bryk, Tapio Wirkkala and Timo Sarpaneva are unique artists, they cannot be produced industrially. Arabia and Iittala, however, still are strong brands and can find more excellent designers. So, with a bit of patience, they can grow artistically creative again. Also most of their good old designs still are available. Thank You, Sir, for Your interesting comment.21.1.2012 23:16Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

I'm afraid we found very little information about the artist and nothing at all about Paul Palokoski. There are two paintings from J. Palokoski on this page: http://kauppa.digikuvasto.fi/index.php?page=search&action=hae&taiteilija=890 They are for sale. If you can read Finnish, you can get some information from this debate: http://keskustelu.suomi24.fi/node/5504946 I'm sorry we couln't find any more information about Paul Palokoski.18.11.2011 17:32Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

Hello! You are right. The local government office of Padasjoki informed us that a branch of the Finnish 4H federation used to run a summer cafe at Enni Id's cabin, but the place has been closed for two summers. However, it should be possible to visit Enni Id's cabin, if you contact the head of recreational services in Padasjoki, tel. 0400 713 303. They'll do their best to help you. Our readers may wonder who Enni Id is. Samples of her work: http://www.phmuseomatka.fi/main.php?id=217 (...22.8.2010 21:56Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

Finnish sculptor Raimo Isma Heino was born 13th September 1932 in Helsinki. The most well-known work of Heino is definitely a relief of cloudberries and cloudberries' flowers. You can also find this relief on the other side of Finnish two euro coin. Other well known works are for example a relief of apostols (Kerava church) and a steel sculpture Konerytmi at Hämeenlinna.

There are indeed a few references that García Lorca (1898-1936) had made paintings. However, the Grove Art Online -database only mentions him being a draughtsman besides a writer. According to Grove Art the drawings are "executed in pen and ink or coloured pencil". The outcome of our search was similar: There seems to be no paintings. There are at least two books that deal with García Lorcas drawings: H. Oppenheimer: Lorca: The Drawings: their relation to the poet's life and work (London: The...5.1.2007 14:20Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

I offer my sincere apologies for this reply is long overdue. Unfortunately, even after lengthy information search I wasn’t able to find the exact method Frida Kahlo used to prepare the paintings she made on copper. However, I was able to find plenty of advices for artists wishing to paint oil on copper (see below). Although Kahlo didn’t have the opportunity the use some of the modern substances, I would guess that her technique couldn’t dramatically differ from the modern methods. But the...13.4.2006 12:14Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto
