\n\tAbout Arno Vihalemm<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tArno Vihalemm <\/span>(born Arnold Koch, 24. V 1911 \u2013 21. VI 1990) was an Estonian poet and artist living abroad.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tArno Vihalemm was born in the R\u00e4\u00e4ma district of P\u00e4rnu, the son of a customs official. In 1931 he graduated from P\u00e4rnu Boys\u2019 Gymnasium and worked initially as a surveyor\u2019s draughtsman. Among his circle of acquaintances at the time were his slightly younger schoolmate August Sang and Kaarel Ird, a slightly older boy from R\u00e4\u00e4ma. Arno Vihalemm was interested in the theatre and acted in a play staged by Kaarel Ird for the P\u00e4rnu Workers\u2019 Theatre. According to Ird\u2019s memoirs, at that stage Vihalemm had already written some poems. From 1935 to 1940 and in 1943 he studied at the Pallas school of art in Tartu, where his teachers were Nikolai Triik, Kaarel Liimand and Aleksander Vardi. His poetry writing continued in Tartu. In November 1936 Vihalemm made his debut with three poems in the journal Looming<\/span><\/i>, and in subsequent years he contributed for\u00a0the journal. Vihalemm became famous in the late thirties for his epigrams in the newspaper T\u00e4nap\u00e4ev<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1944 he moved to Sweden, living in the town of Ystad and working as an artist in a ceramics factory and the director of a painting course, as a museum official and a freelance artist. Study trips took Vihalemm to Germany, Switzerland, Spain and France. His first independent exhibition was in 1955. In the late forties Vihalemm\u2019s main medium as an artist was painting. From the early fifties there was a long period of graphic art, rewarded with recognition. Vihalemm also became known as a book designer. In 1958 Vihalemm published a unique work: a folder of linocuts with verses under the title Marionetid <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Marionettes\u2019). The graphics in the book have a teasing effect and naive, primitive contours.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVihalemm was a contemporary of the members of the Arbujad poetry grouping. His early poetry followed their high poetic style, especially the spirit of Heiti Talvik\u2019s epigrams. Vihalemm\u2019s poetry in his first collection, Kaja kivi s\u00fcdames. Luuletusi 1936-1944 <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Echo in the Heart\u00a0of the Stone. Poems 1936-1944\u2019, 1954) represents both the Arbujad-inspired poetry published in Looming <\/span><\/i>in the late thirties and comic verse. The final cycles, describing the feelings of an exile, are heavy and depressing in their choice of words. Vihalemm\u2019s mature poetry is characterised by a masterful unification of high and low, of the exalted and the frivolous. His verses are often ironical, self-ironic, sometimes sarcastic. His satire on the injustices of humankind are gloomily compassionate; his verses are abundant in parody and playful verbal imagery. The author\u2019s talent for burlesque was most brilliantly expressed in his 1966 poetry collection Tsoo-loogia ehk ingel lindudega<\/span><\/i>\u00a0(\u2018Tso-ology, Or an Angel with the Birds).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVihalemm translated a selection of Nils Ferlin\u2019s poetry, Laule ja luulet <\/span><\/i>(\u2018Songs and Poetry\u2019, 1984) from Swedish to Estonian.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tArno Vihalemm\u2019s sons were Rein Vihalemm (1938 \u2013 2015), a philosopher of science, and Peeter Vihalemm (b. 1944), a professor of media studies.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
