Õli lõuendil
This work is exhibited in Raivo Korstnik’s retrospective exhibition: “In Rear View 6 1/2: Salon and Studio” in Solaris Art Gallery. “Salon and Studio” takes visitors to a timeless space through an exhibition installation, where it is possible to be part of the artist’s creative process and stay in the art museum, salon and artist’s studio at the same time. Raivo Korstnik (1932–1992) studied at ERKI in 1951–1957 and participated in exhibitions since 1957, including the legendary 1966 exhibition of young artists. Later, participation in his exhibitions became less active. Since 1961, he has worked as a drawing teacher at the Tallinn Pedagogical Institute, Tallinn University of Culture and ERKI. During this period of time, he was a teacher to many Estonian artists from the following generations.
