1919
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Soittajat is a 1919 unspecified by Yrjö Ollila, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows two bare-chested figures standing close together. The person on the left holds what looks like a small round object, while the one on the right holds a long stick with a curved end. Their faces are simple, almost like carved shapes, and the background is made of rough, flat colors—mostly browns and yellows. The figures look like they’re made of wood or clay, with smooth, blocky forms. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the painting a textured feel. Check out the impasto technique to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
Yrjö Aleksanteri Ollila (20 July 1887, Helsinki – 14 November 1932, Helsinki) was a Finnish Impressionist painter, designer and muralist.
