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