Who was Eino

Being in his presence, one has met a man who thought deeply and cared passionately, for the earth and her children. Eino’s art was influenced greatly by the philosophers Ghandi, Lin Yutang, and Goethe. In exploring their writings, Eino came to understand the significance of becoming more conscious and purposeful; this is reflected in the clarity of the themes portrayed through his art. Archipenko and Henry Moore were two sculptors who greatly inspired Eino…their work gave validity to Eino’s urge to move beyond traditional expressions in sculpture, and to create an entirely new genre that he called “modern classics.”
