About This Item
Finland 2000. Wirkkala (1915-1985) is the symbolic figure of Finnish design. He was an artist of exceptional diversity for whom no material was alien and who left no area of design unexplored. In his work, contrasting materials were imbued with the incontestable forms found in natural phenomena. For Wirkkala, the form of an object was not just an aesthetic goal or intellectual perception, but the outcome of a dialogue between hand, eye, and material. Although his works are to be found in the worlds leading museums, Finns have used his anonymous utility objects for decades. An incredibly comprehensive book that illuminates the full range of his work, with gorgeous illustrations, essays, chronologies, appendices and more., English, Year2000, Illust. B/W1549, Illust. Color414, ISBN 9510253553, Code 4286. Clothbound w/ jacket, In Pristine Condition, Bibl. Index. Bio. Pages 407, Size 11x 9
