Welcome Tour: Adamson-Eric
The guided tour in English at the permanent exhibition of Adamson-Eric Museum is led by the art historian and curator Karin Vicente.
Adamson-Eric (1902‒1968) is one of the most brilliant Estonian modernist artists. He was a talented and exceedingly diverse creator who became a legend during his lifetime. Adamson-Eric was one of the few artists who was equally strong as a painter and in almost all of the areas of applied arts and design. In the 1920s and 1930s, Adamson-Eric was one of the most significant cosmopolites of Estonian art due to his numerous travels, having lived and worked in different locations all over Europe. He was also an active and daring participant in the cultural life of Estonia and a dazzling figure in society. In addition, he was active in the policymaking and organising of Estonian art life, and in the post-war period he was an esteemed art teacher who influenced several generations.
