Pentti Ensio Kaskipuro (né Krut (until 1935); 1930–2010) was an artist from Finland.
[2] Kaskipuro was one of the best-known and internationally renowned Finnish graphic artists, not only among specialist circles, but among the art-loving public.
The most common themes of his drypoint and aquatint prints are everyday items, such as onions, swedes, potatoes, bread, eggs and vases of flowers.
[3] Kaskipuro did not receive much formal art training - he was a private student of Aukusti Tuhka in 1952.
He is referred as "Master K" among the printmakers of the next artist generation,[4] such as Mirja Airas, Marjatta Hanhijoki, Outi Heiskanen, Inari Krohn, Elina Luukanen, Marjatta Nuoreva and Esa Riippa.
