225 pages
Arvo Pärdi Keskus, Estonia, 2018
What the jury said:
“This is an Estonian graphic biography of the composer Arvo Pärt. The
judges loved the sheer confidence here: the idea that an esoteric creative
life (albeit one of a national hero in Estonia) could be turned into a comic
book. And it has a more serious, underlying theme in the Estonians struggle
under Soviet occupation. It is beautifully drawn. Astonishingly, the artist
has found a way to convey creativity, and all the difficulties it involves.”
SPECIAL MENTION in the YA category in the First Bologna Comics Ragazzi awards.
