Valdur Ohakas: A Pioneer of Estonian Art
Valdur Ohakas (1925 – 1998) was a renowned Estonian artist, known for his rich use of brown tones, further enriched with greys and ochre tones. His "brown landscapes" were extremely popular in the 1980s and 90s, captivating audiences with their romantic sense of nature.
