Lepp Esko (1906-1977). Autumn Landscape. Study (1961)

Lepp Esko (1906-1977). Autumn Landscape. Study (1961) is a magnificent example of Esko’s foray into oil painting. Though renowned as a graphic artist and creator of many watercolors, this oil on cardboard piece showcases his true sense of painting. Painted in 1961 and signed in the lower right, it represents a rare instance of Esko’s exploration of this medium. He received his art education from 1935 to 1948 at various esteemed institutions including the State School of Industrial Art in Tallinn and the Moscow Art Institute. The piece, with dimensions 43 x 31.5 cm, captures the essence of autumn through Esko’s skilled brushwork.
