Alice Kask
1976 Tallinnas
I don’t know a single other Estonian artist who would have fans in so many enormously different camps. She is rated highly by people who in every other point of view – right down to the “main purpose of art” – would be at each other’s throats. One of the 1970s avant-garde artists admitted one morning when we were sipping tea at his studio while looking at his latest paintings (a typical bourgeois situation) that Kask is keeping alive his hopes for the future of painting. "Her language of form”, he said, "is developing further the very thing that we used to try to discover, but – thank god – she is free from the shackles of art history that kept us chained up at our time”. A few days later I ran into a young art critic who told me: “Kask is showing those old farts” and that “this is what contemporary art should be like, although, damn, there could be something more to it…” And he marched off, his eyes sparkling with passion.
