Estonian Artists Explore Self-Reflection in New Exhibition The Tartu Art Museum’s “I am metamorphoses. Henn Roode self-portraits” exhibition features a collection of works examining the theme of self-identity. Alongside the 1965 self-portrait by Henn Roode, the exhibition includes two self-portraits created by Ülo Sooster, dating from 1957 to 1959. One portrait was completed between 1958 and 1959, while the other dates back to 1957. The exhibition’s inspiration stems from Aleksander Metsamärt’s article, “The truth drawn in black and white,” which accompanied the show. Metsamärt’s writing, presented in Estonian, was praised for its captivating quality. The central focus of the exhibition is the exploration of the concept of “truth” through the lens of self-representation. The inclusion of Sooster’s self-portraits alongside Roode’s adds a layered perspective on this theme. Margus Ansu captured a photograph of the exhibition’s display, showcasing the artwork. The exhibition offers a contemplative look at the evolving understanding of the “self” within the context of Estonian art history.
