Anton Starkopf's (1889–1966) oeuvre had a significant impact on the development of Modernist sculpture in Estonia in the 1920s and 1930s. Starkopf introduced novel subject matter and treatment of figure, influenced by German Expressionism, into Estonian sculpture. He was also one of the founders of the first national art school Pallas in Estonia in 1919. Starkopf made an enormous contribution to raising a whole generation of pre-war artists.

安东·斯塔科夫（Anton Starkopf，1889–1966）的全部创作，对20世纪20至30年代爱沙尼亚现代主义雕塑的发展产生了深远影响。他受德国表现主义（German Expressionism）影响，将新颖的创作题材与人物塑造手法引入爱沙尼亚雕塑领域。此外，他还是1919年爱沙尼亚首所国立艺术院校帕拉斯（Pallas）的创始人之一，并为培养整整一代战前艺术家作出了卓越贡献。
