of his staying on the finnish front in june 1944, takes
up a special place in his creative work. Vyborg has
attracted Matorin by the originality of its northern
architectural landscape and the severe beauty of forms.

ensembles of the city. Language of Matorin’s linocuts

rhythm of lines are in harmony with the noble colors.
Matorin’s prints were made on the basis of front-line
sketches. The color linocut printmaker used up to 12
