(1907–1970)
Harbour in the Rain. 1962
Watercolor. Vm 49.3 x 32.2 cm (framed)
price 2 900
The harbor motif was common in the art of Soviet Estonia, because technology and work came together there. Often, however, artists approached the motif in a romantic way: they cleared the field of view of people and directed their attention to the atmosphere. Nigul Espe has used the properties of watercolors, where the contours dissipate and everything becomes hazy and dreamlike. Such a romantic view frees itself from documentary rigidity and instead focuses on the atmosphere that often prevails around ports and which forms a large part of maritime romance.
