The Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere has reopened after renovations with a new exhibition dedicated to the renowned Finnish graphic artist Pentti Kaskipuro, who is celebrated for his iconic food studies. Kaskipuro's career began amidst the turmoil of World War II, when he was a war child in Sweden. His experiences during this time deeply influenced his artistic vision, as reflected in the pieces displayed in the exhibition, including studies of potatoes, turnips, bread, eggs, and sausages. These artworks not only showcase his talent but also communicate the cultural significance of food in Finnish life.

Kaskipuro gained recognition in international art circles, and his contributions were acknowledged with the title of professor in 1990. The exhibition brings to light Kaskipuro's connection to Scandinavian artistic movements and highlights how experiences of displacement, such as his childhood in Sweden, shaped his perspective.
