Adamson-Eric (1902-1968). Portrait of a Man. Boris Lukats (1945 – 49)
€1200
Colored pencil, paper
40.5 x 32 cm
Work from the collection of Mari Adamson (the artist’s widow).
In the post-war years, Adamson-Eric drew portraits and made litho portraits.
During the harsh war years, there was a shortage of paper and artists had to be ingenuity in diversifying their assortment. The background tinted with watercolors has a rather interesting effect with the brown tone of the image. A masterful portrait.
Adamson-Eric was a free listener at the Faculty of Law of the University of Tartu from 1921 to 1923 and was also on the list of Pallas’ students. In 1923, Adamson-Eric moved to Berlin with the desire to study applied art. He became a student at the Berlin-Charlottenburg School of Applied Arts and Crafts for a year, where he studied surface decoration under Professor Harald Bengen. Having arrived in Paris in 1924, Adamson-Eric, on the recommendation of sculptor Jaan Koort, who was familiar with the city and its artistic scene, began to acquire an art education at the F. Colarossi Free Academy as a student of Charles Guérin. In Paris, Adamson-Eric also studied drawing and painting at several other private academies (Naudin, Bissiei, Kisling, Lhote and Šuhhajev). In 1929 and 1930, he was a government scholarship holder of the Fine Arts Foundation in Paris.
He returned to Tallinn in the late summer of 1934. In the autumn of the same year, the opening exhibition of the newly built Tallinn Art Hall took place. Simultaneously with the opening exhibition or somewhat later, Adamson-Eric organized in Greece. In 1936, he was the commissioner of the Estonian Art Exhibition in Moscow.
