Villem Raam – the Keeper of Continuity of Art Culture

Author(s): Jüri Hain

Published by: Eesti Kunstiteadlaste Ühing

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Villem Raam's (1910–1996) activities as the author of writings on modern Estonian art in 1957–1986. The author examines Raam's remarkable contribution to the continuity of Estonian art culture and his emphasis on national identity during a time when such activity meant resistance to the oppression of a totalitarian regime. He did this, primarily, by analysing the works of the artists of his own generation (Lepo Mikko, Valdemar Väli, Olga Terri and others).
