Many Finnish artists moved to Paris in the late–19th century. Although Impressionism had revolutionized the art world by that time, it did not visibly influence the Finnish until later. This exhibition focuses on the period between 1906 and 1916, during which Northern artists began using the vivid colors that now define Finnish Colourism. The turn toward brighter palettes came with the rise of new subject matter, such as the comforts of middle-class life, also typical of Impressionism. “Color & Light” presents international and Finnish art from 1860 to 1916, and places the work of Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro alongside art by such esteemed figures as Alvar Cawén, Antti Favén, and Magnus Enckell. —Jeanne Malle
