Paul Liivak "Rannal"

As a schoolboy, Paul Liivak was one of Eduard Wiiralt’s best friends, but his creation moved along totally different paths – his lines were more archaic and interests considerably more down-to-earth. “Rannal” (“On the shore”) is a nostalgic view of the traditional Estonian village. Actually the landscape and houses are so clearly “Estonian” that one could almost talk about a manifestation. Power is added by Konrad Mägi – style of falling sunbeams, which in their expressiveness remind us of opening of the sky and of the passion that is usually seen in religious pictures of revelation. Still, Liivak is clearly a realist, even though a very romantic one. Differently from many of his contemporaries he does not want to concentrate on the dark side of life, but on memories which always remain bright.
