Kissasota
From the collection of Helsinki City Museum
Kissasota is a work by Olga Forslund, held at Helsinki City Museum.
This sketch shows two men in uniform standing on a sidewalk. One is swinging a long stick at a crowd of people behind a wooden fence. The crowd looks scared, with some falling or hiding. The buildings in the background are simple, with small windows and a flat roof. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and emotion. The men’s uniforms and the fence suggest a controlled or restricted area. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
Olga Forslund left a small but vivid slice of early 20th-century life in her pencil drawings.
