Balder Tomasberg
Balder Tomasberg (1897, Paldiski – 1919, near Saint Petersburg) was an Estonian artist.
Tomasberg was born in Paldiski and moved to
Vikerla, which gathered several students of Ants Laikmaa, including Aleksander Mülber and Välko Tuul. The works of the group were exhibited together in the autumn of 1918, and Tomasberg contributed with several works with themes from the island of Pakri Islands, where the group had lived as an art colony. Later that year he volunteered to fight in the Estonian War of Independence and was mortally wounded in the fighting three months later.[1]
His work consists of paintings made in
watercolour, as well as graphic arts. The subject matter consists mostly of dream-like or fantastic landscapes.[1]
