Alexander Paischeff

Talo Hesperiassa
Omakuva
Näkymä Välskärinkadulle

Alexander Paischeff is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Alexander Paischeff left behind small, vivid slices of early-1900s Helsinki: a pencil sketch of Välskärinkatu alley, a painted house on Hesperiagatan, a wrought-metal horse in its stall, and one self-portrait staring from the wall. All are quick, sure marks, nothing ornate, just the straight-on look of daily life. Slide next to his Omakuva to see how he sized up his own face with the same no-nonsense line he used for cobblestones and backyards.
