Description: | A naivist landscape that depicts a hunting scene in the middle part of the triptych “Heart of a Hunter", with the diagrams and molds of man's intestines on the sideboards, comment on the debate over the life and death of painting that has lasted for decades, as well as on the theme of the confrontations/deals of the 1997 painting exhibition. Looking at the new works of Pääsuke, we can not dismiss the influence of the artist's earlier artwork, both personal and general meanings or their combination. “Take for example the image of man in Pääsuke's artwork: we have imprinted in our subconscious images painted of people in the artist's immediate family, but in “Heart of a Hunter" we are looking at anatomical diagrams that do not refer to any particular person, but to all of us."* The title and the middle board of the triptych seem to refer to a fairy-tale, an illustration, literal art; the side boards reveal the more ‘bodily', material side of both fairy-tale and painting.
