In addition to his travel writing Antson was known for his plays which were often leftist and pacifist in orientation. Much of his work was influenced by expressionism and detailed the horrors of war and revolution.

Laarman was one of the outstanding followers of cubism and constructivism in Estonia. His "numerous book-covers and illustrations present the possibilities of applying such a method in the field of book graphics that is based upon the constructive rhythm of simple and expressive planes. Moreover Laarman was the first to apply the principles of Elementary Typography new at that time in the design of architectonically expressive and homogeneous books" Rein Loodus 21. In addition to his own work Laarman was also instrumental in furthering public awareness of avantgarde art: "Laarman edited and published The Book of New Art 1928 the group's programmatic almanac which helped the public develop a better understanding of the avant-garde" Art of the Baltics 38.
