THE SUBORDINATED NON-SUBJECTING PRIMORDIAL FORCE

A SURPRISINGLY SOPHISTICATED WORK

It is quite complicated to fit the creative temperament of Kai-Mai Olbri into the Estonian artistic life. Her fight for the recognition of her vision often reaches psychological and financial heroism. We can hardly find from among Estonians a person, who is more further from being greedy and an artistic talent, who is more idealistic. The fighting idealism of Kai-Mai Olbri is the main reason, why several practical thinkers can not take her seriously. There is too much mission in her – more than in Jaan Elken, more than in Jaan Toomik and even more than in two of them together – so that it already touches in the opinion of a number of people the boundaries of decency.
