Alo Hoidre (until 1935 Horn, né Aleksander; January 26, 1916 – October 2, 1993) was an Estonian painter, book illustrator, and printmaker.
[4][5] The highly popular method of collective work at that time was used for this high-profile publication prepared for the tenth anniversary of the Estonian SSR.
Another new edition of Kalevipoeg was published by in the five-volume series of works released to mark the 150th anniversary of Kreutzwald's birth in 1953 with illustrations by these artists.
[6] In his later creative years, having withdrawn from commissions and teaching at the art institute, Hoidre's personality as a painter manifested itself in hedonistic, cheerful compositions.
The color of Hoidre's late works is rich and deep, and the themes explore the basic problems of human existence.
