The Savonlinna High School of the Arts, with its ideological camps is just the opening bell on Antero\u0026rsquo;s path to independence and growth as an artist. Once he\u0026rsquo;s passed the entrance exams for art school, it\u0026rsquo;s time to take over Helsinki. His search for his niche as a student proves to be a multi-phased adventure, and along the way he gets to know such characters as an operetta singer who\u0026rsquo;s outgrowing her clothes and a seminarian who wears a wig. Antero\u0026rsquo;s emotional life is devastated when he falls in love with a duffle coat, and the architect inside it. Their alliance is like the siege of Orleans, short but far-reaching in its implications. The culmination of Antero\u0026rsquo;s colorful adventures comes when he is given his first solo exhibition, and at the opening has his final show-down with his father.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;In my paintings, I\u0026rsquo;m using more and more unmixed colors \u0026ndash; that is, colors straight from the tube.

(\u0026hellip;) The basic difference between writing about colours and painting with them is, I suppose, that in painting a colour refers only to itself, without references.

De kunstschool van Savonlinna, met zijn ideologische kampen, is niet meer dan het startschot voor Antero\u0026rsquo;s pad naar onafhankelijkheid en groei als kunstenaar. Na de toelatingsproef voor de kunstschool is het tijd om Helsinki in te palmen. Zijn zoektocht als student naar een eigen niche blijkt een avontuur van meerdere stadia \u0026ndash; onderweg ontmoet hij figuren zoals een operettezangeres die haar kleren is ontgroeid en een seminarist die een pruik draagt. Antero\u0026rsquo;s emotionele leven wordt overhoop gegooid wanneer hij verliefd wordt op een duffelcoat, en de architect erin. Hun verbond is als het beleg van Orl\u0026eacute;ans: kort, maar met grote implicaties. Antero\u0026rsquo;s kleurrijke avonturen komen tot een hoogtepunt wanneer hij een eerste solotentoonstelling krijgt; bij de opening gaat hij de confrontatie met zijn vader aan.
