Ilmar Linnat "Kallas"

Ilmar Linnat "Kallas"
“Kallas” is in a sense a contradiction to “Rand” (“Coast”). Yes, the motif here is very similar to that of the previous work. A narrow strip of sea has been left to one side of the picture and the transition area between dry land and the sea is covering the majority of the space. But here we can see no sign of anything, which is being created by human hands. And also the harsh and scanty style of Linnat has disappeared. Smooth lines, heading to the core of the picture and finally leading to a lonely pine-tree, are drawing the viewer’s attention. Linnat’s whole choice of colours is soft in an emphasized manner, but his brush is working impetuously. The long-time favourites of the Estonian landscape paintings, seashores, are added an additional poetic meaning, which in its turn emphasizes the harmony and beauty of nature.
