Vilho Sjöström
Vilho Sjöström is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Helsinki City Museum.
A Finnish draftsman in the early 1900s, Vilho Sjöström made pencil portraits of northern pioneers and local figures. His paper work “Brändön pioneerit” shows settlers in the Bothnian Bay islands, while “Lasse Löfqvist” captures a single fisherman’s lined face. These drawings belong to the rustic realism that spread across Nordic art as towns grew. Tap “Lasse Löfqvist” to zoom in on the fisherman’s weathered hands and the paper grain.
