1563) "River Seine", Art from the Treasury of the Estonian Art Museum, Estonia: A postage stamp of 0.90 Euro issued by "Omniva" (formerly Eesti Post): Date of Stamp issue: 17.11.2020:
This piece of art titled "River Seine" (1924) is a depiction of the soul and essence of Paris in the 1920s by one of Estonia's most famous "avant garde" ("advance guard") artists - Ado Vabbe (1892-1961).
Feeling the urban environment in a furturistic key, Vanne captured the changing atmosphere and continuous life rhythm of a metropolis using a fragmented colour surface.
Such an approach could be considered novel for Estonian Art at that time. Thus, as he kept up with artistic innovators in Europe, Vabbe is considered to be the first modernist artist in the Estonian context.
