Landscape

This painting most probably depicts a landscape around Pulst’s childhood home in Tori, Pärnumaa. By the time he made this landscape, Pulst had been a painter for approximately fifteen years, but his other hobbies, interests and jobs took up so much of his time that it was not possible for him to focus more seriously on painting.
In this case, the actual landscape only served as an impetus for painting: what the artist really focused on were colours, and in his choice of colours Pulst did not adhere to the Estonian art canon, but used rather vigorous and unexpected shades, occasionally getting close to abandoning natural hues altogether and creating a completely new pictorial whole. His manner of painting is characterised by alternating rhythms of short brush strokes: small parallel strokes on the surface of water become more agitated and dynamic on solid ground and in the sky.
