In 1900–1945 more works of art than ever before or after were lost or destroyed. The data about what is no more is extremely fragmentary and nearly non-existent. The list of lost or destroyed artworks includes thousands of pieces by the best-known Estonian masters: Amandus Adamson, August Jansen, Nikolai Triik, Ants Laikmaa, Johannes Greenberg, Ado Vabbe, Edmond Arnold Blumenfeldt, Konrad Mägi, Kristjan Raud, Paul Burman and others.
