Eist, Aksel (1930 – 2000) Still-life. (1960s)

Aksel Eist’s Still-life (1960s) is an exquisite oil painting on cardboard. Measuring 101×82.5 cm, this piece exemplifies Eist’s mastery of pastel colors in portraying landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. Eist, born in 1930, was not only an artist but also a psychiatrist. His paintings, like his work in medicine, have a soothing effect, instilling calm wholeness. This temperamental work is a part of collections in Estonia and Tartu and can be found in private collections worldwide. Its creator, both a doctor and a painter, brings a unique perspective that transcends traditional art forms.
