Kuno Veeber (18 February 1898 – 1 January 1929)[1] was an Estonian painter and graphic artist whose career began in the late 1910s.
Veeber's art of the period was marked by a struggle for clear form and harmonious balanced image structure and he became a strong admirer of Post-Impressionist Paul Cézanne.
[5] In 1927, Veeber traveled to Italy with his wife Agaate with a grant from the Estonian Cultural Endowment Fine Arts Foundation to copy works by the Old Masters.
In Venice, he visited the Sala di Anticollegio at the Doge's Palace and copied Tintoretto's Mercury and the Three Graces, which is approximately one-fifth smaller than the original.
Agaate later found a measure of success in Estonia after her husband's death, as well as in the United States after immigrating to New York in the 1940s and adopting the name Agathe Veeber.
