About the piece
Painted in 1917, Tyko Sallinen’s 'Woodcutter' is a striking example of Northern European Expressionism. The work utilizes a heavy impasto technique to build a rugged, tactile surface that reflects the character of its subject. Set against a deep violet and charcoal background, the warm earth tones of the sitter's face create a compelling and atmospheric presence.
