Hell, 1932
Cabaret, 1931Põrgu (Hell) 1983 from Aeron Alfrey on Vimeo.
The above animation was created by Rein Raamat, also responsible for the previously shared animated short "Suur Tõll" made a few years prior to Põrgu.
"Põrgu (Hell) is an Estonian animation film by Rein Raamat, Tallinnfilm, 1983. So grotesque and sexual, this animation brings to life three infernally beautiful engravings – ”The Preacher“, “Cabaret” and “Hell” – created by the Estonian artist Eduard Viiralt in the early 1930s.
Both the engravings and the animation film were created in the time of great uncertainties: in the 1930s Viiralt was reacting to the anticipation of the War; in the 1980s Raamat was having a presentiment of the chaos the USSR’s collapse would bring about. Both Raamat´s and Viiralt´s artworks depict a feast in the time of plague, indulging in surrealistically satirical representations of people’s vices." - quote source
