1917–2015 · Estonian sculptor (1917-2015)
Eesti Kunstimuuseum; Tartu Kunstimuuseum
trained at Estonian Academy of Arts
Juhan Paberit (1917) created restless, dynamic and emotionally powerful monuments and gravestones during the 1960s–1970s. His monuments, mostly executed as reliefs, are recognisable by their beautiful painterly surface treatment. Paberit is one of the most outstanding relief sculptors in Estonia. He was predominantly a Tartu-centred artist, and thus Paberit's gravestone sculptures are largely found in Tartu's cemeteries; the monuments to those fallen in the Second World War are located in South Estonia (in Elva, Õisu, Kanepi), but also in Paide. In his portrait work he gladly used ceramics – portraits indeed form a significant part of his oeuvre – the artist's relationship to the model is usually warm and lyrical. Paberit was mobilised into the Red Army during the Second World War, began his sculpture studies in 1946 at the Tartu State Art Institute, and graduated as a sculptor from the Estonian SSR State Art Institute in 1952.
