A thoughtful look back at life from the 72-year-old artist, who in the 1920s, in his youth, was a sharp innovator of the contemporary art of that time, establishing geometric modernist art, swimming against the mainstream of Estonian art, together with like-minded people from the Ryhma of Estonian Artists. This linocut is a unique nomadic vision in which traditional and innovative depiction have settled into a harmonious symbiosis. Although it is a linear black-and-white graphic, it has an almost painterly effect with its various surfaces and contours that avoid excessive strictness.
