The history of female artists in Finland <\/h3>\n

Finland from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
\n During this period Finland changed the position and role of women in society to keep pace with the independence movement from Russia and the formation of a new nation born in 1917. <\/p>\n

The first art school in Finland, which was founded in the middle of the 19th century, had a rare education policy in Europe at the time of its founding that it recommended gender-equal art education. As a result, women in this era were able to open up their career as an artist while earning research in an international environment with the support of study abroad opportunities and scholarships. <\/p>\n

Introduction of exhibited works <\/h3>\n

Maria Vik <at the church><\/strong><\/span>

\n The work on the right depicts the landscape of a devastated street.

In contrast, the work on the left.
\n Women who are dressed in new fashion have a determination to survive the new era of Finland. <\/p>\n
