Description from the seller
Description:
A visually striking vintage silver gelatin print by Matti Saanio (1925–2006). Shot in 1958 in the village of Oikarainen (Rovaniemi region, Lapland), this photograph is a rare and experimental piece from Saanio's legendary North-Finland period.
Unlike traditional static portraits, Saanio uses a long exposure to capture the motion of a woman in a rocking chair by a traditional fireplace. This technique adds a ghostly, poetic layer to his otherwise documentary style, making it a highly desirable piece for art photography collectors.
Artist: Matti Saanio
Location: Oikarainen, Rovaniemi mlk (Lapland, Finland)
Date: 1974
Technique: Vintage silver gelatin print
Authenticity: Features the artist’s original identification label on the reverse with location notes and the year 1974. It also bears a large, bold pencil signature by Matti Saanio on the back.
Condition: There is a vertical fold/crease running through the center of the print (please see detailed photos).
