Moses and Aaron | Autere Hannes

As if he is a puppet, haloed Aaron, his mouth open and waving a book as he preaches, is held in front of the mouth of a much larger Moses.

	Autere Hannes (1888-1967) Finnish folk sculptor. His subjects are the Finnish people`s everyday toil and leisure and religious themes. The works express both the sculptor`s sense of comedy and his personal spirituality. His wooden figures have a naivistic nature and are often based on Finnish legendary materials . Autere used the light and shade created by the technique to infuse his work with expression.
