Aavik Priidu (1905 – 1991). A Working Day at the Tallinn Ship Repair Factory. (1965)

Introducing an exquisite piece by Priidu Aavik, titled “A Working Day at the Tallinn Ship Repair Factory.” Created with black felt-tip pen on paper, this 44 x 60 cm artwork captures the vivid life of the harbor. Cranes, ships, and working people, all brought to life by Aavik’s deft hand. Born in 1905 and having studied at Art School “Pallas”, Aavik’s love for harbor scenes shines through. He played a significant role in Estonian art, teaching, and holding prominent positions in art societies and institutes. His works are a testament to his refined skills, enhanced during his time in Paris, and his legacy as an artist continues to inspire.
