Poet, painter and graphic artist, born in 1911 near Pärnu. Died in 1990 in Sweden.
In 1934–40 and 1943, Arno Vihalemm studied painting and graphic art at “Pallas” under the guidance of N. Triik, K. Liimandi, A. Vabbe and A. Vard. After the war, he cultivated painting in Sweden, but mainly graphic art, becoming one of the most interesting Estonian masters abroad in this field in the 1950s and 60s.
He has relatively few portraits; this portrait is a good work.
