Bonsdorff von, Colour Ascetism and Synthetist Colour - Colour Concepts in turn-of-the 20th-century Finnish and European Art

This study proposes a point of departure for the study of images which in Finnish art history have tended be read as an expression of style, ideas or movements toward a study of a specific palette and the two-colour practices at the turn of the twentieth century. I am adapting the notion of painting as a deposit of a colour consciousness in a specific turn-of-the-twentieth century context.
