Joskus kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 l\u00f6ysin kirppikselt\u00e4 kaksi kaunista taulua. Ensin aioin ostaa ne pelk\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4n erikoisten vanhojen kehysten vuoksi, koska etsin jatkuvasti kirppiksilt\u00e4 vanhoja valokuvakehyksi\u00e4 polkupy\u00f6r\u00e4valokuva-kokoelmaani<\/a> varten. Sitten ihastuinkin itse kuviin niin paljon ett\u00e4 ne meniv\u00e4t sein\u00e4lle sellaisenaan. Kehyksiss\u00e4 on kaksi vuoden 1945 siluetti-kuvaa.<\/p>\n

Siluettitaide on 300 vuotta vanha taidemuoto, joka sai nimens\u00e4 1700-luvun alkupuolella el\u00e4neest\u00e4 Ranskan valtiovarainministeri Etienne de Silhouettesta. Herra de Silhouette oli virassaan vain kahdeksan kuukautta, mutta teki tuona aikana huomattavia s\u00e4\u00e4st\u00f6toimenpiteit\u00e4 ja mm.\u00a0m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4si\u00a0ylellisyystuotteille, kuten muotokuville, veron. Koska muotokuvien maalaamisesta tuli veron my\u00f6t\u00e4 hirvitt\u00e4v\u00e4n kallista, muotiin tulivat halvat pahvista leikellyt sivuprofiilikuvat jotka luonnollisesti sitten nimettiin valtiovarainministerin mukaan.<\/p>\n

Siluetti ei kuitenkaan tarkoita yksinkertaistettua kuvaa. Siluetit voivat olla ja parhaimmillaan ovatkin t\u00e4ynn\u00e4 taidokkaita yksityiskohtia jotka siluettien leikkaaja ikuistaa mustaan kartonkiin tai paperiin t\u00e4ydellisesti, ilman luonnostelua. Jotkut lukijoista saattavat lapsuudesta muistaa huvipuistojen siluettitaiteilijat jotka ikuistivat puistoissa k\u00e4vij\u00f6it\u00e4 siluetteihin pient\u00e4 maksua vastaan. Min\u00e4kin muistan S\u00e4rk\u00e4nniemen siluettileikkaajan lapsuudestani. Nyky\u00e4\u00e4n siluettitaide alkaa olla katoava taito. Tiett\u00e4v\u00e4sti Suomessa toimii en\u00e4\u00e4 kaksi siluettitaiteilijaa, tamperelainen V\u00e4in\u00f6 Kemppainen joka on leikannut siluetteja yli 20 vuotta S\u00e4rk\u00e4nniemess\u00e4 ja helsinkil\u00e4inen Sirkka Lekman. Sirkka on jatkanut is\u00e4ns\u00e4 Eero Mannisen ty\u00f6t\u00e4 Linnanm\u00e4ell\u00e4 l\u00e4hes n\u00e4ihin p\u00e4iviin asti.<\/p>\n

Omat siluettitauluni eiv\u00e4t ole paperista leikattuja vaan musteella valkoiselle paperille maalattuja. Erilainen ty\u00f6tapa ei v\u00e4henn\u00e4 siluettien vieh\u00e4tyst\u00e4. Nyt haaveilenkin ett\u00e4 saisin teetetty\u00e4 siluetit sek\u00e4 is\u00e4nn\u00e4st\u00e4 ett\u00e4 minusta. Viel\u00e4k\u00f6h\u00e4n V\u00e4in\u00f6 ensikes\u00e4n\u00e4 leikkaisi siluetteja S\u00e4rk\u00e4nniemess\u00e4?<\/p>\n

Last Summer I thrifted two pretty pictures. First I was going to buy them just for their vintage picture frames, because I’m constantly searching for old picture frames for my vintage bicycle photo collection<\/a>. Then I fell in love with the actual pictures so I had to hang them on the wall as they are. They are two silhouette pictures from 1945.<\/p>\n

Silhouette art is 300 years old art form, which was named after the the French finance minister Etienne de Silhouette, in 1759. Monsieur de Silhouette was minister only for eight months, but during that time he made significant savings on the government budget. For example he ordered that all luxury items, like portrait paintings, must be taxed. Because portraiture paintings turned out horribly expensive after that, cheap cardboard profile cuts became very popular. Of course they named the new art form after the finance minister.<\/p>\n

Silhouette doesn’t mean simple picture. They can be and at their best, they are, very detailed and cut by talented artists without any sketching. Some of you readers might remember seeing them in your childhood at the amusement parks, cutting visitors portraits for small fee. Even I remember seeing silhouette artist in our local amusement park, S\u00e4rk\u00e4nniemi. This art is, however, slowly disappearing. As far as I know, there is only two silhouette artists working in Finland. V\u00e4in\u00f6 Kemppainen from Tampere, has been cutting silhouettes over 20 years \u00a0in S\u00e4rk\u00e4nniemi and Sirkka Lekman from Helsinki. Sirkka has been continuing her fathers, Eero Manninen, footsteps by cutting silhouettes in Linnanm\u00e4ki Amusement Park in Helsinki. However they both are slowly retiring.<\/p>\n

My silhouette pictures are not cut, but painted with black ink on white paper. Different method doesn’t diminish their charm. Now I am dreaming of having silhouettes of me and my hubby. I wonder if V\u00e4in\u00f6 is still cutting silhouettes in S\u00e4rk\u00e4nniemi, next summer?<\/p>\n
