Karl Burman juunior 1914–2001 Maastik metsatukaga. 1945

Karl Burman never participated in avant-gard movements, as in his opinion the basic art values were elsewhere. In the first range art had to offer aesthetic pleasure or at least solace, colours had to be beautiful and motifs homelike. Also “Maastik metsatukaga” does not try to be something different from what really is: a simple and sincere landscape of the homeland. Typically to Burman, he does not depict extremely wild nature, but also places a domestic animal onto the picture. And in such manner he again stresses the harmony and solidarity of man as keeping of domestic animals and harmony of the nature, but also the beauty of the nature and value of a moment. And the sky is higher than ever before.
