  • At the Confluence of Art Nouveau and Ecclectic Early Modernism in Riga's
    ZDZISŁAWA TOŁŁOCZKO* AT THE CONFLUENCE OF ART NOUVEAU AND ECCLECTIC EARLY MODERNISM IN RIGA’S METROPOLITAN ARCHITECTURE U ZBIEGU ART NOUVEAU I EKLEKTYCZNEGO WCZESNEGO MODERNIZMU W ARCHITEKTURZE METROPOLITALNEJ RYGI Abstract The aim of this paper was to draw attention to the coincidence of streets intersections ending, in general, in corner buildings making up typical and picturesque parts of the townscape of the 19th c. European cities, including the central quarter of Riga. This type of town-planning establishments perfectly compose with the art and aesthetics of Art Nouveau in Riga. An additional and very important component of the town- planning-architectonic solutions is the decorative finial of the corner houses (not only inJugendstil , but also the Latvian national romanticism) creating a harmonious composition in respect of art and town-planning, ideally completing the townscape of this Baltic metropolis. Keywords: Latvia, Riga, Cracow, New York, London, Berlin, history of architecture and city-planning, Art Nouveau, Modern Art, Jugendstil, National Romanticism Streszczenie Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na koincydencję zbiegów ulic zakończonych na ogół wyraźnymi narożami, tworzącymi typowe, a jednocześnie malownicze, fragmenty krajobrazu dziewiętna- stowiecznych miast europejskich, w tym również śródmieścia Rygi. Tego rodzaju założenia urbanistyczne doskonale komponują się ze sztuką i estetyką Art Nouveau w Rydze. Dodatkową i jednocześnie niezwy- kle ważną komponentą rozwiązań urbanistyczno-architektonicznych są umieszczone na narożach ozdobne zwieńczenia (nie tylko w stylu Jugendstil’u, ale także łotewskiego narodowego romantyzmu) komponujące się wspólnie i harmonijnie pod względem artystycznym i urbanistycznym, uzupełniając znakomicie pejzaż tej nadbałtyckiej metropolii. Słowa kluczowe: Łotwa, Ryga, Kraków, Nowy Jork, Londyn, Berlin, historia architektury i urbanistyki, Art Nouveau, Modern Art, Jugendstil, Narodowy Romantyzm DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.15.154.4191 * Prof.

  • The Broken Axis of Juhkental: a Different Kind of Heart
    Heili Sepp Viru County Court The Broken Axis of Juhkental: A Different Kind of Heart Juhkental, Joachimstal, Joaorg – the historical district located to the south of Narva Old Town and Hermann Castle is rarely remembered when discussing Narva these days. That might be somewhat justified considering the suburb was officially united with the city only in 1917. Nevertheless, the oldest settlements of the area are located at Joaorg and there is something else at its heart that one might consider a painfully exact symbol of Narva. The whole layout of the suburb that burst into its true existence in the end of the 19th century (and was a home for ca 7000 people in the beginning of the 20th century - most of them workers at Kreenholm) had a majestic axis uniting two polarities at its core. The suburb burnt down twice (in April of 1919 and during WWII) but the axis remained, albeit today we experience it as something broken. The two places of worship – Alexander’s Cathedral (Lutheran) and The Resurrection of Christ Cathedral (Orthodox) – were designed to dominate this part of the city and to face each other in direct confrontation or dialogue. Originally everyone passing Juhkental could be overwhelmed by the experience of standing between two towering cathedrals – each one at its own end of the Church street. This historical view belongs to the past due to the architectural changes creating a strict “stonewall” to split the district apart: a kind of internal border. That is not the only way how Juhkental appears to be a place of boundaries.

  • Evidence of the Reformation and Confessionalization Period in Livonian Art
    Ojārs Spārītis EVIDENCE OF THE REFORMATION AND CONFESSIONALIZATION PerIOD IN LIVONIAN ArT INTRODUCTION The singular transitional period that led from the slowly evolving me- dieval vision of the world to a new perception of life with its dynamic expression in works of history and art history texts has been given labels that reflect its chronological evolution, as well as the epithets referring to its philosophical and aesthetic content. To illustrate the variety of the social and spiritual aspects of European spiritual life in the second half of the 15th and the 16th century, literature in the humanitarian spheres exploited concepts from the Renaissance, the Reformation and Counter- Reformation. Concepts of both humanism and hedonism were used to characterize the domestic cultural content and form. However, they fail to reveal the development of the new historical period and contradic- tion-rich diversity of the material and spiritual life in the 15th and 16th centuries, when the growing dominance of economic expansion and the endeavours to acquire new knowledge along with the awareness of the tangible benefits and spiritual advantages of a university education was so characteristic of European culture. The history of spiritual evolution, with the variations related to the Reformation and confessionalization, is characterised by local regional contexts and forms of expression, but it also has a mandatory syn- chronicity with the processes of European political and intellectual life. Looking forward to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation initi- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/BJAH.2015.9.03 24 Ojārs Spārītis Reformation and Confessionalization Period in Livonian Art 25 ated by Martin Luther, it is worth examining the Renaissance-marked – the Teutonic Order and the bishops – used both political and spiritual fine arts testimonies from the central part of the Livonian confedera- methods in their battle for economic power in Riga.

Esialgset metoodikat rakendati 1994. ja 1995.aasta läbisõidu määramiseks. Liiklusloenduse andmetele tuginev metoodika ei ole aastate jooksul sisuliselt muutunud, kuid aasta-aastalt on paranenud maantee liiklusloenduste andmebaas. Püsiloenduspunktide arvu suurenemine ja põhjalikumad liiklusloendused põhi-, tugi- ja kõrvalmaanteedel on tinginud ka metoodika täiustamise. Liiklusloenduse täiustumisel on siiski olnud ka tagasilööke ja päevakorda on tõusnud probleeme, mida esmalt ei osatud karta. Kui 2000. aastal töötas püsiloenduspunktides 50 automaatloendurit, siis aastatel 2001-2007 on see hälbinud vahemikus 40 – 48. Võrreldes 2006. aastaga lisandus viis loenduspunkti.

    Antanas Smetona Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction Antanas Smetona (1874-1944) was born in Užulėnis, Kovno Governorate, Russian Empire. In 1886, he became the only child in his family to go to school, and in 1893, he began attending Jelgava Gymnasium in Latvia. A teacher there promoted Lithuanian language and culture, but the school made everyone use Russian, and Smetona was expelled for non-compliance. After graduating from a different school, Smetona moved to Vilnius where he became active in Lithuanian cultural life, joined the Lithuanian Democratic Party, and worked on various Lithuanian newspapers and periodicals. During World War I, Smetona assisted Lithuanian victims and was elected Chairman of the Council of Lithuania. He was elected the first president of Lithuania in 1919, but was replaced the next year. In 1926, he became president again after helping overthrow the previous president. Following the Soviet Union occupation of Lithuania during World War II, Smetona turned over power to his prime minister and fled the country. He and his family eventually settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where Smetona worked on a history of Lithuania and his memoirs until his 1944 death. Important Dates .
