The poet J. H. Erkko\u2019s home was built in 1902 by Tuusula Lake Road, and it was designed and built by local artist Pekka Halonen (of Haloseniemi) together with his brother Antti. J.H: Erkko (1849 – 1906) was a central cultural figure in late 18th century Finland. Erkko was also a strong advocate of culture as well as being a playwright and journalist.<\/p>\n

\nThe painter and sculptor Lars-Gunnar Nordstr\u00f6m (1924\u20132014) 100th anniversary is celebrated this year. After early Cubism, Nordstr\u00f6m moved to non-representative art, concretism, which manifested itself not only in paintings but also in wonderful steel sculptures. In addition to Nordstr\u00f6m’s works, there are city-themed paintings from the 1910s to the 1930s by Ellen Thesleff, Ragnar Ekelund and Marcus Collin, among others.<\/p>\n
