Karl Burman seenior 1882–1965 Maanteel. 1956

Karl Burman’s “Maanteel” has been constructed with the same kind of original composition as his “Kündjad” (“Ploughmen”) was. The work is carrying the spirit of the second half of the 1950ies – this was a period, which had its own face, but the face was changing fast. Here can still be seen together horses and automobiles and quite close seems to be the old town of Tallinn, towards which seems to be reaching an empty meadow. People, animals and cars all together remind us of the era, when the old times started to disappear and new ones were arriving already.
