Aleksander Vardi
(1901 - 1983)
Pangodi. 1961
Oil on canvas. 64 x 100 cm
Starting price 3 580 (sold)
Aleksander Vardi became in the 1930ies, immediately after the graduation of “Pallas” (under the supervision of Konrad Mägi and Ado Vabbe), absorbed in the depiction of the local landscapes. Still, it was never important for the artist to win popularity or to create true-to-life pictures. Vardi’s approach angle was always subtle, including the author’s wish to render by landscapes certain conditions, atmosphere, records, attitudes. Vardi’s approach was methodical and extremely mediative, rather thoughtful than subjecting the nature.
“Pangodi” tells us about Aleksander Vardi on very different levels, being simultaneously a witness of the superb form of the landscape painter and also reflecting the period and artist’s biography. At the beginning of the 1950ies “during the most problematic time of the Estonian art” also Vardi was ejected from the Artists’ Association and for a long time he suffered from persecution. After ending of political repressions in the year 1957 can be detected a rise in Vardi’s creation that to a great extent has been gathered into the current work. The general optimistic shade of “Pangodi” gives evidence of the changed times. Towards changes for the best.
