More about this artwork

We are delighted to showcase the evocative drawing "Selkäharjoitelma" by Alfred William Finch, an illustrious artist known for his contributions to the Neo-impressionist and Art Nouveau movements. This compelling sketch is rendered in soft pencil, capturing the delicate contours and subtle grace of a human figure viewed from behind.The artwork presents an individual seated, perhaps in a moment of introspection or repose, with the back to the viewer. Finch's mastery in the use of light and shadow is evident in the nuanced modeling of the figure's back and shoulders, which transmit a sense of quiet strength and the natural elegance of the human form. The soft, fluid strokes suggest movement and add a gentle, almost ethereal quality to the drawing."Selkäharjoitelma," which translates to "Back Exercise" from Finnish, suggests an exploration of form and posture. The simplicity of the composition belies the depth of skill required to convey so much with such economy of detail. Finch's work invites the viewer to ponder the story and emotions of the unobserved face, making it a compelling piece that engages both the eye and the imagination.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
