| Description: | Having worked as a photographer with the newspaper “Sirp", and later as a freelancer, Kalju Suur has over the course of years photographed hundreds of people from Estonian cultural circles - writers, artists, composers, actors. He does not focus on a person in an abstract way, but instead takes every model as an individual, trying to capture a moment that might last only for a couple of seconds but is essential to the personality of each particular person. “Kalju Suur challenges modern photographers who are interested in formal experiment and manipulation of subjects. He confronts the demonstratively calm and favourable concept of a person with the destructive and playful."* Anu Allas * Leo Gens, Foreword to Kalju Suur's photo album Silmast silma. Tallinn, 1995, p. 22. ** Kalju Suur, Foreword to the exhibition Pictures of Peeter Mudist During 1981-2002, Gallery of Masters' Courtyard, 2002. |
