Aleksander Vardi 1901–1983 Äärelinn. 1931

Aleksander Vardi’s “Äärelinn” also originates from as rare period as ”Talvine Tartu” (”Tartu in winter”). Vardi, being hardly 30 years of age, has ended his studies in ”Pallas”, has got a hunch of the artistic clamour of the world and has also spent some time in Paris – in the core of the art universe, Still he return, goes to the country, takes a look of one farmhouse and takes to use all of his skills. This is style, characteristic to Vardi: patching colour spots that change so quickly that the clear borders of forms start to dim out.
