The ‘Burning Man – Peeter Mudist’ exhibition marks what would have been the unique Estonian artist’s 80th birthday. While his paintings are known to many, his sculptures are less well known, despite being equally impressive. The exhibition showcases almost 60 paintings and 20 sculptures. The works, which depict people of importance to the artist, were primarily sourced from the collections of Estonia’s two biggest art museums and the most extensive private collection of Mudist’s paintings. The accompanying texts were penned by Mudist himself.

In recent decades, an “awakening” regarding southern Estonia has taken place featuring the bold distinction of its identity, which is based on such deeply rooted cultural phenomena as the local dialect, customs and a lifestyle that remains close to nature.  Research on southern Estonian culture has vigorously intensified, focusing on three large areas: language, folklore and literature.
