Description: Comprehensive book about the younger generation of Estonian artists. The book is composed of three main chapters: series of portraits, interviews and reproductions of works. The publication aims to show the connections between the artists’ everyday life and their art. Over a period of six months, photographers Pelle Kalmo and Anu Vahtra observed the artists in their homes and studios. Casual talks present 22 very personal stories about the choices in past and present. What does it mean to be an artist in Estonia nowadays? What kind of expectations, fears or hopes young artists have before starting their career? Talented team of young Estonian graphic designers have made a fresh statement by designing this book and a new font for every artist.
