Felix Randel 1901–1977 Tants. 1926

1920ies were in the Estonian art world most probably the most crazy ones while comparing with other periods up to the 1990ies. Even though national art was only gaining its strength, into it also absorbed a number of testings: futurism, cubism, surrealism, but also jugend and art deco. Felix Randel’s “Tants” gets inspiration from the last trends – flowing forms and really unexpected colour solutions. Furthermore: exotic theme which empasizes extreme movement and detchment from everyday life and not less exotic models refer to cabaret-style sense of the world, being characteristic to a big city life – and this all is happening in Estonia.
