Kristjan Raud


Kristjan Raud (1865-1943) belongs to the older generation of Estonian artistic pathfinders. Together with his twin brother Paul Raud and his contemporary artist, Ants Laikmaa, he managed to break through the obstacles set before the Estonians by the prevailing peasant mentality and the extremely class -conscious society of the time.
Kristjan Raud was one of the first Estonian artists who is brave enough to try and make his career in his homeland, although his talent and connections in the art world, established already during his studies in Germany and St. Petersburg would have enabled him to easily merge in either place .
The long years of study in St.Petersburg, Dusseldorf and Munich ended in 1903 when Kristjan Raud settled at home. A great part of K. Rauds work is based on Estonian folklore . his drawings have been the first to give visible shape to strange and ancient creatures, ghosts, goblins and personificated natural forces and even to tales of flying lakes etc. The magic world of Kristjan Rauds drawings charms the viewer with its epic poetry.
In 1935 many Estonian homws acquired a copy of their national epic Kalevipoeg illustrated by Kristjan Raud. This made his name known to his fellow countrymen. Kalevipoeg with Rauds pictures was reissued in 1975. To an average Estonian Kristjan Raud is primarily known as the illustrator of the national epic and as an advocate of national romantic art ideas in the 1930s when quite different winds were already blowing even in the remote European province of Estonia.
Characteristic of Estonian folklore Kristjan Rauds work contains very few light and playful undertones. The image of a singing Kalevipoeg is one of the most joyful motifs in the artists entire work. More than 40 drawings and sketches picture Kalevipoeg as a triumphant giant standing on a hillside and singing to his brothees. In Rauds work Kalevipoeg is a joyous king - forever young like the dream of ancient country people who wish for a crowned king of their own: a king never crowned.
In the spring of 1940, shortly before the forceful incorporation of Estonia into the Soviet Union, the last pre-war art event tok place in Estonia the year of Kristjan Raud. That year was dedicated to the artist in connection with his 75th birthday.
In the winter of 1942 a few months before his death Kristjan Raud finished his composition entitled The Return of Kalev- asymbolic work in those complicated years when Soviet power alternated with German occupation.
In my opinion was Kristjan Raud very important artist, because he was one of the first Estonian artists who is brave enough to try and make his career in his homeland in Estonia. However that he should know that he could fall through and his career will be finished. in addition war Kristjan Raud remarkable and outstanding artist who deal with Estonian folklore.

worthlessness of any musical composition. I am writing about Estonian symphonists and symphonism. What do I mean by this term? For example, one can speak of the symphonism of Eduard Tubin, Artur Kapp and Arvo Pärt. In its best and exact sense symphonism means the creation of a sublime philosophical idea in music in an intense extensive and developing form. Symphonism is a way of thinking through the medium of music and therefore perhaps the most prefect way in its singularity. Only an artist whose inner world is rich in thought and perception and who is endowed with a strong faculty of logical thinking and powerful fantasy, can develop into a symphonist. In symphonism both the dynamics of inner and outer world conflicts, collisions and dialectics springing from the synthesis of opposing forces are revealed. Due to these qualities symphonism becomes apparent in opera, oratorio, concerto and chamber music. However, the broadest opportunities for the

Holidays, Festivals, Cultural events TALLINN - If you're looking for entertainment in Estonia this summer, you are really spoiled for choice. Festivals and events dedicated to the consumption of beer are a lot of fun, but if you want to get the true feel of the country, you need something a little more ethnic. Like a town fair. Just as July becomes August, the seaside town of Haapsalu will host a grand spectacle of rural Estonian entertainment. The White Lady Days is a summer celebration filled with amusement for all the family. Held in and around the remains of the Teutonic-knights-era castles, the fair combines enchanting medieval legends with modern countryside charm to create a comprehensive experience of Estonia beyond the big cities. But the legend of the White Lady of Haapsalu, which is at the heart of the festival, is perhaps the most famous tall tale of the many that are so abundant in Estonia's folklore. It is the story of a poor girl who falls in love with the son of the

greatly appreciated thanks to the charisma and hard work of its long-time ex- conductor Tõnu Kaljuste and Paul Hillier. Male voice and boys' choirs are equally popular. There are also many pop singers and groups such as Koit Toome, Eda- Ines Etti, Vanilla Ninja, Terminaator, Bedwetters and Traffic. In the middle of the 19th century F. R. Kreutzvald published the national epic Kalevipoeg, based on themes from Estonian folklore. Then national art began to develop. The first Estonian born artist, Johann Köler, depicted Estonian peasants and the countryside in his paintings. August Weizenberg was the first Estonian born sculptor. He and Köler are considered to be the founders of Estonian national art. Tallinn and Tartu are the biggest cultural centres. The majority of higher education establishments are also in these towns. 10.Sports The first Estonian mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records was a sportsman.

Portraitures remained at the forefront because the rich could thusly display their status and because it was less "frivolous" than other forms of painting. In early-C18, Baroque was imitated (handsome settings, rich chiaroscuro, rich color and painterly execution). Paintings became gradually more elaborate. During mid-C18, the new immigrants introduced the style of Rococo (gracious, charming and pretty). Exemplary artist. John Singleton Copley (late-C18). He was self-taught and pursued truth in the characters of his sitters and their surroundings. He emphasized the hands of his sitters. After moving to England, he adopted history paintings.

The feeling of intolerable loneliness. One such story is "The Man of the Crowd" ­ the secret of a man who seems to be strangely alienated from human fellowship, the narrator chases the man, still the man remains a mystery. The narrator's feverish in the man's identity symbolises human desire for selfdiscovery. Poe adored the idea of the Doppelganger, uses this motif to stress the complexity of human nature. Another Poe's favourite topic is the impossibility for the artist to escape from the practical world ­ "William Wilson", something haunts the narrator to chase him from country to country, he's been haunted by himself. The theme of Death fascinated Poe. He's interested in death with all its horrors. "Berenice" ­ a man digs out the body of his dead pride, pulls out her teeth. Metempsychosis ­ the belief in the transmigration of the soul. "Ligea" ­ a revenant (she has returned from earlier ages, centuries). ­ Arabesque

Movie review

But half of the action was filmed in Russia so it didn't meet expectations at all. Movie: Shutter Island Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Kingsley & Mark Ruffalo Director: Martin Scorsese It's not often that a movie comes along that so perfectly defines it's genre like Shutter Island . A stark and haunting mix of mystery, suspense and psychological thriller. Every scene containing subtle and meticulous clues that unravel before your eyes. This review is spoiler free for those who have not seen this film yet and so may not contain some plot points. Set in 1954 US Marshall Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) accepts the case of a missing woman who has escaped from a mental institute for the criminally insane. He is assigned a new partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo). Teddy though has another reason for accepting the case, to find a man he believes killed his wife. He is haunted by images of his past atrocities

(Maric B. The History of Street Art, 2014 [https://www.widewalls.ch/the-history-of-street-art/] 20.12.17) NYC subway 3. GRAFFITI AND STREET ART ARE NOT THE SAME THING While graffiti artists only work with spray paint and pride themselves on knowing their way around a can of the stuff, street artists use other media to create their pieces. “Graffiti artists really pride themselves on what we call can control,” says Cameron Moberg, 33, a graffiti artist and Street Art Throwdown contestant from San Francisco, California. “We take pride in not needing a stencil and really working on our can skills, that’s where the divide originally came from. But with good content coming out, there’s some more respect. You even see some collaboration between street artists and graffiti artists.” [http://mentalfloss.com/article/61441/12-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-street-art] 14.01.18) 3.1.
