In 1891, at the age of 18, he enrolled at the Drawing School of the Viipuri Friends of Art, and he also studied at the Drawing School of the Finnish Art Society from 1893 to 1895. Then, in 1895, he decided to become the private pupil of Akseli Gallen-Kallela at his wilderness studio Kalela in Ruovesi. He studied under Gallen-Kallela for three periods between 1895 and 1897.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1896, Simberg went to London, and in 1897 to Paris and Italy. During these years he exhibited several works at the Finnish Artists' autumn exhibitions, including Autumn, Frost, The Devil Playing and Aunt Alexandra (1898), which were well received. Critical success led to his being made a member of the Finnish Art Association and to his being appointed to teach at the Drawing School of the Viipuri Friends of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1904, he was commissioned to decorate the interior of St John's church in Tampere (now Tampere Cathedral), a project which he carried out with Magnus Enckell between 1904 and 1906. At the turn of the year 1907-08 he made a short visit to the United States. He also designed the UPM-Kymmene logo, the Griffon (1899).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom around 1907 to 1913, he taught at the Drawing School of the Finnish Art Association at Ateneum. In 1910, he married Anni Bremer. They had two children, Tom and Uhra-Beata, the latter of whom became a ryijy artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died in Ähtäri on 12 July 1917. His biographer, Helena Ruuska, suspects that he battled an unknown disease, possibly syphilis, for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"symbolism-collection-65-images","title":"Symbolism Collection - 65 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"9520384098078493096\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSymbolism in art involves using images, objects, or figures to represent abstract ideas, emotions, or concepts beyond their literal meaning.
