About this artwork

Tove Jansson was an author, painter, and illustrator from Finland who primarily spoke Swedish. She is the creative mind behind the 'Moomin' book series that centers on a family of white, round, and imaginative characters. Despite their large snouts giving them a resemblance to hippos, Moomins are actually called trolls. One of the prints shows the Moomin family journeying into the forest that envelops their home, Moominvalley.

About the artist

Tove Jansson, a Swedish-speaking Finnish author, painter, and illustrator, is well known for her 'Moomin' book series featuring round, white characters with large snouts, akin to hippos but referred to as trolls. Growing up, her father Viktor's conservative views clashed with Tove's more liberal mindset. Still, she admired his work and the artistic environment shaped her character. At 15, Tove journeyed to Sweden to attend the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, followed by internships at various European art schools.

Upon her return, she leveraged her experience, gained early by collaborating with a popular children's magazine, to illustrate books and create caricatures for different clients. Her Moomin series, popular mid-20th century, elevated her to fame, with several spin-off illustrated books, comics, a play, and a musical libretto adding to her popularity. The attention became overwhelming and so she purchased an island in the Gulf of Finland for privacy. Despite her literary success, Tove considered herself an artist first and foremost.
