Eduard Kutsar 1902–1970 Stone Bridge in Tartu. 1920 - 1930s

The Tartu Stone Bridge fascinated many artists, who managed to paint this now destroyed bridge many times. However, Eduard Kutsar's attention is not so much on the bridge, which is only a remark in the depth of the painting space. Much more, Kutsar was fascinated by the shady atmosphere created under the park trees and the possibilities of the riverside walkway for depicting colors. The person placed in the middle of the painting space enlivens the work and gives it an urban dimension, but Kutsar's main focus is still on colors and mood, which are almost independent from the depicted motifs.
