Kaljo Põllu (Kopa, comtat de Hiiu 28 de novembre de 1934 - 23 de març de 2010)Suri kunstnik Kaljo Põllu. ERR Uudised, 23.03.2010. va ser un artista estonià. El 1962 va rebre un diploma en art del vidre, i es va convertir en director del departament d'art de la Universitat Estatal de Tartu; va fundar el grup d'artistes contemporanis Visarid, a Tartu, el 1966. El 1973 es va desplaçar a Tallin, on entre 1975 i 1996 va ensenyar a l'Acadèmia Estoniana d'Arts; en aquell moment el seu estil artístic ja havia canviat cap a una vessant més dramàtica, buscant influències de l'antiga cultura finoúgrica.
El 2007, la Universitat de Tartu va atorgar a Põllu el premi "Contribució a la Identitat Nacional estoniana".
