Cartoons and/or Art. On the Relationship of Two Fields in Estonia, Based on Priit Pärn’s Creative Career

Summary/Abstract: This article is about Priit Pärn’s career outside the realm of animated films, focusing on his endeavours as a cartoonist, illustrator and printmaker between the late 1960s and the end of the 1980s. Through Pärn, a key figure in the field at the time, some light is also shed on that particular era in the history of Estonian cartoons in general. The main aim of the article is to map the ties between Pärn’s work and the contemporary avant-garde and high art of Soviet Estonia.
