EDMOND ARNOLD BLUMENFELDT
DECORATIVE AVANT-GARDE
GOUACHE AND GRAPHIC ART

Edmond Arnold Blumenfeldt was one of the most mysterious Estonian artists of the 20th century. He was born in 1903 in Saint Petersburg to a merchant’s family. In the same city, he completed evening classes at art school when he was a teenager, and then moved to Berlin. While in Paris in the 1920s, he attracted considerable attention, displayed his works at an influential exhibition, and his works were featured in local art magazines. Unfortunately, only a few works from this glorious period have survived: some were destroyed in the turmoil of the Second World War, but it is highly likely that some are still in Paris.

On painting through the big format

The new exhibition at Haus Gallery explores the format of paintings, exhibiting large and small format paintings in close proximity, based on the principle of contrast. Playing with formats creates an understanding of the possible architectural and spatial contexts that a painting can emphasise.
