Aino Bach

“Väike Leena” is one of the most significant and remarkable works in the creation of Aino Bach. Here the artist has been able to connect extraordinary technical skills (pay attention to the subtlety and elegance of the needle movement line!) with a superb sense of atmosphere. Here Bach does not bother herself with excessive details, which is highly extraordinary while keeping in mind the requirements of the era. She cleans the picture surface of everything disturbing and concentrates only on the basic. While rendering the gentle and emotional Leena, Bach does not use excessive embellishments. The girl she is depicting is simple and natural, ordinary and in her normality still extraordinary – and in such a manner little Leena has become the pearl of art history.
