Very strong impact in Estonian art history was exercised by the Tartu Art School Pallas, founded in 1919 and closed down in 1940. From autumn 1924 the Art School Pallas worked as a higher educational institution. It was a private school, maintained by the art society Pallas. To broaden their minds the best Pallas students were also sent on trips abroad. The intellectual atmosphere reigning at the school is actually difficult to define, since during those 20 years a fairly large number of strong personalities studied and taught there. Pallas focused on individuality and talent, along with spirituality, created by treatments of light and colour. Art metropolis Paris was a constant source of inspiration. The curriculum of the Higher Art School Pallas was based on Western European art experience, influences of expressionism and constructivism are visible. People who had graduated from any higher art school could be teachers at Pallas. In the 1930s graduates of Pallas were employed as tutors. Field- related specialisation at the Higher Art School Pallas took place in studios. The choice of the field and tutor of the studio was made by the student. In the early 1930s only two painting studios operated, headed by Nikolai Triik and Ado Vabbe. From 1930 the graphic art studio, which for years had been one of the most difficult issues for the school, began working intensively. The graphic art studio was headed by Ado Vabbe. Almost all great names of their time taught at Pallas: painters Konrad Mägi, Ado Vabbe, Nikolai Triik, Hando Mugasto, sculptor Anton Starkopf, art historian Voldemar Vaga, etc. The very first class of graduates included graphic artist Eduard Wiiralt. Very productive Pallas graphic designers were also Jaan Vahtra, Peet Aren, Ernst Kollom and Agu Peerna.
