There once was a white wolf
named Sean
whose curriculum vitae
was long.
It didn't fit on paper
and it tended to taper
And it wasn't worth the vellum
written on.

In 1969 the Academic Bookstore opened, the most famous book store in Helsinki. The bookstore’s large rectangular atrium receives daylight through three skylights with interesting, prismatic shapes that protrude down into the hall, their crystalline forms contrasting with the simple rectangular shapes of the overall plan.
The bookshop extends over three floors, its white surfaces providing the perfect backdrop for the colorful books. The Café Aalto offers pleasant views from a balcony into the atrium.
The two discrete dark copper facades at the corner lot give no inkling of the bright inner atrium inside. The façades have large windows and narrow copper strips. Above the bookstore there are office floors.

Work of:
William-Adolphe Bouguereau
French Academic Artist
Genre Painter
1825 – 1905
A young nude woman sits with her arms outstretched, pushing away a winged boy. He is Cupid, the god of love, holding up an arrow to pierce her. The title suggests that the young woman is trying to defend herself, yet she smiles and struggles unconvincingly against the mischievous little god.
Visitors to the Paris exhibitions of the 1870s and 1880s loved Adolphe Bougereau's paintings. The Getty Museum's painting repeats a larger composition that Bougereau made for the Paris Salon in 1880; a viewer probably saw the larger version there and requested a smaller one for private viewing.
Bougereau placed his mythological fantasy in an idyllic, Arcadia-like landscape. In fact, he made this composition in his studio, copying the landscape from the neighboring French countryside and using one of his favorite models.
