The 59 illustrations done by 20 Estonian artists at this exhibition have been inspired by the Brothers Grimm’s fairy tales – ones that have been the closest to the artists’ own hearts. The exhibition acquired a very multifaceted character starting with the artists, the youngest of which are just beginning their creative careers, and the oldest of which have managed to leave a noteworthy impression on Estonian art history in the years they have been active. Yet, as always with fairy tales: Each will find their own. The multi-layered pictures are unravelled as experience allows. Some take merely the uppermost layer, some the deepest and most secretive. It is certain that no one will be disappointed, and bright, light notes reassure the observer alongside the grimmer ones.
