Arnold Akberg (4 February 1894 – 7 October 1984) was an Estonianpainter.
Early life
Akberg was born in Võipere, Haljala Parish, Virumaa (now in Kadrina Parish, Lääne-Viru County). He studied at a Teacher's College in Rakvere in 1920, then began teaching in Tallinn. He was mostly a self-taught person, but he had help from Ants Laikmaa, who was also an Estonian painter. He died, aged 90, in Tallinn.
Style
His paintings were described as cubism, with them having a clear composition and delicate colours.[citation needed]

Among his most successful solo exhibitions were the 1968 Museum of Applied Arts (Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design), the 1967 exhibition in Tallinn, his exhibition in the Pärnu Museum of Art in 1973. In 1984 he exhibited at the USSR State Art Museum.[1]
