Abstract

Go on a journey into the vast, fantastic world of wood art with this remarkable volume. As the introductory text shows through the history of wood art the unique capacity for expression and life of this very special medium, the magnificent photographs that fill the book demonstrate the stunning mastery of Finnish artists throughout the history of the country, to give life to wood in their varied styles. Finally, the trip is made complete with the examples of Finnish literature and the delicate beauty of Finnish poetry, that celebrate wood as an essential element in the national culture, as well as some stories on the importance of trees not only for Finland, but the world.
