From the very beginning, Paris played a pivotal role in shaping her creative path. In a letter to her mother, Signe Hammarsten Jansson, in April 1938, Tove writes about finding her style and liberating herself from over-admired idols: “Today I was at the Musée de Luxembourg and noted with a certain satisfaction that I no longer got stuck in front of every canvas, confusing myself with the diversity of manières and styles of perception, but calmly walked past things that did not fit with my way of seeing, and knew for sure what I liked and what I could learn from.” She captured the essence of Paris in her words, illustrating how the city breathed life into her creativity: “Here in Paris, you can’t be afraid of colour, it sparkles everywhere; every little tobacconist’s is painted in its own cheery shade and the air makes everything even more brilliant and alive.” Read more about the role of Paris in Tove Jansson’s life and art at tovejansson.com (link in bio). ♥️ Is there a place that has had a profound impact on shaping your creative path? 🎨 In this photo, Tove Jansson is pictured in Paris with her partner Tuulikki Pietilä in 1968.」10月20日 21時55分
