Kõrgem Kunstikool Pallas

In Estonian cultural history, "Pallas" denotes both an art association, an art school, and the creative heritage of artists associated with the school, in which case the term "school" is commonly used.

The "Pallas" art school is inextricably linked to the beginning and development of consistent art education in Estonia. The school provided professional training for most artists whose work is among the best in 20th-century Estonian art.

After its first publication in 1977, Tiina Nurga's book "The Higher Art School "Pallas"" immediately became a classic of Estonian art history. It has been an indispensable handbook not only for those interested in the development of the "Pallas" art school, but for all those interested in Estonian art between the two world wars.
