In 1928 Halliste moved to Tallinn, where he worked for a year in Jaan Koort's studio, studying ceramics and bronze casting there. After leaving Koort he began earning his living by making furniture parts and engraving ornaments for a piano factory. He was a board member of the Estonian Museum Society, of the Central Union of Estonian Fine Artists, a member of the Board of the Fine Arts Foundation, and a member of the building committee and board of the Tallinn Art Hall. In the 1930s the artist had the opportunity to further his training through trips to Russia, Finland, Italy, France and Germany. During World War II the artist lived withdrawn from society; in the summers he stayed with his wife in Pupastvere. After the war ended the sculptor worked for some time as a restorer at the State Art Museum. The post-war years were the most productive in the artist's oeuvre; his main workplace was a studio on Lauristini Street in Tallinn. (machine translation of the holder's Estonian text, unedited)
