trained at Riia linna kunstikool

He studied at E. Heine's progymnasium in Viljandi and in 1910–1914 at the Riga Art School. In 1922 he furthered his studies in Berlin and Dresden. He worked as a drawing teacher in several schools in Viljandi, including A. Kamsen's private trade school, in 1914–1919 at the Viljandi Higher Primary School, and in 1916–1926 at the girls' gymnasium of the Viljandi Estonian Education Society, after which he was a lecturer in the painting class of Tartu's "Pallas" and from 1929–1940 deputy director. In 1927, 1930 and 1937 V. Ormisson was chairman of the art society "Pallas". V. Ormisson created mainly landscapes and still lifes. In his early works the influence of Impressionism and Konrad Mägi's work can be seen. After a trip to Germany, Expressionist traits appeared in his paintings, the colouring darkened and a greenish-blue tone became predominant. In the second half of the 1920s his treatment of landscape became more airy and light-filled. V. Ormisson died on 5 April 1941. His final resting place is at the old cemetery of Viljandi (Riia mnt).
