## Commentary

Ville Vallgren, the &#34;Frenchman&#34; amongst the Finns, was another who wanted his art to stir up emotions rather than simply provide aesthetic pleasure. His sculptures, unmistakably &lt;i&gt;femmes de l&#39;Art Nouveau,&lt;/i&gt; were nevertheless chiefly exercises in style: female dancers in the roundelays of the turn of the century. Vallgren&#39;s homage to women fell fully in line with the spirit of the age.
