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 prewar 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.
