Lepp, Esko (1906-1977). Coastal Landscape. (1970)

Esko Lepp (1906-1977), a prominent artist of the post-war decade, showcases his intricate mastery over aquatint on paper in “Coastal Landscape” (1970), a piece that measures 27 x 33 cm. Signed by Lepp on the lower right and marked with “Rannavaade” akvatinta 1970 1/50 on the lower left, this creation is a testament to his varied schedule and proficiency in engraving techniques. Lepp’s artistic journey took him from the State Art and Industrial School in Tallinn (1935-1940) to the Pallas Art School in Tartu (1940-41), and finally to the Moscow P. Pavlinov Art Institute (1943-1948). His works, particularly those that include woodcuts, are widely celebrated and represent a significant era in art history.
