Career

Wikström in 1893

His parents were construction foreman Johan Erik Wikström and Gustava Samuelintytär Linnamäki.[1] Emil Wikström studied art in Finnish Art Association's drawing school in Turku and Helsinki, in the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and also in Académie Julian in Paris.[2] Wikström as well as other artists took inspiration for their art from their own country's cultural mythology. Finnish artists studied and worked in Paris. Some decided to retreat to the peace of forest, as Wikström wrote in a letter to Axel Gallén in 1898. Wikström was the first to carry out his plan and he found ideal place for himself in Sääksmäki by Vanajavesi.

Wikstörm working in Visavuori in 1932

Emil Wikström sculpted most of his work in Visavuori [fi], his home and studio in Valkeakoski.[3] Emil Wikström was one of the most important Finnish sculptors of his time. Best remembered for his public monuments in Helsinki, the statues in railway station, and other cities across Finland, Wikström produced portraits of many statesmen, politicians, businessmen, family and friends, as well as figures from Finnish mythology.[1][4]

Representatives of the Association of Finnish Sculptors [fi] put down a wreath by his coffin, 2 October 1942

He is buried in the Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.[5]

Visavuori was opened to the public as a museum in 1967. There many of the original casts and studies are on display.[6]

Personal life

In 1890 he got engaged to painter Dora Wahlroos and they studied arts at Paris together. However they drifted apart and in 1895 Wikström married Alice Högström (1863–1950). They had three daughters: Estelle, Anna-Liisa and Mielikki Anne-Marie. Estelle's son Kari Suomalainen was a famous cartoonist,[1] and her daughter Saskia (a.k.a. Maaria Eira) was an opera singer and director.[7]
