  • Schools of Estonian Graphic Art in Journalism in the 1930S
    SCHOOLS OF ESTONIAN GRAPHIC ART IN JOURNALISM IN THE 1930S Merle Talvik Abstract: The basis for the development and spread of graphic design in the 1920s and 30s in Estonia was the rapid progress of the country’s economy and commerce. The rise in the number of publications led to a greater need for designers. The need for local staff arose in all fields of applied graphics. In the 1930s, graphic artists were trained at two professional art schools – the State Applied Art School (Riigi Kunsttööstuskool) in Tallinn and the Higher Art School (Kõrgem Kunstikool) Pallas in Tartu. The present article focuses on the analyses of the creative work of the graphic artists of both schools, trying to mark the differences and similarities. The State Applied Art School was established in 1914. In 1920, Günther Reindorff started working as a drawing teacher. His teaching methods and the distinguished style of his creative work became an inspiration for an entire generation of Estonian graphic designers. The three well-known students and followers of G. Reindorff were Johann Naha, Paul Luhtein and Hugo Lepik. The teachers and students of the State Applied Art School shaped greatly the appearance of magazines printed in Tallinn. Of modern art movements, art deco found most followers. National ornament became a source for creative work. Distinct composition and beautifully designed legible script are also the features that resulted from the systematic education of the State School of Applied Art. The curriculum of the Higher Art School Pallas, established in 1919, was based on western European art experience.

  • Estonian Art Manifesto
    Estonian Art Manifesto the New Art" implies somehow an opposition against the old, which in the light of the shortness of Estonian art history strikes as a somewhat grotesque implication. The memoirs of one of the founding members of the Group, Eduard Ole contain an amount of opposition, where the expressionism, which was popular in Pallas appears in the role of the old. However, it is probably a bare necessity derived from the modernist rhetoric that demands a con­ struction of the enemy.

  • Kadri Asmer LETTERS from the PAST: ARMIN TUULSE's ARCHIVE
    219 Kadri Asmer LETTERS FROM THE PAST: ARMIN TUULSE’S ARCHIVE IN TARTU The creative legacy of Armin Tuulse (1907–1977, Neumann until 1936), the first Estonian art history professor and scholar of art and architecture, is meaningful in the context of Estonia, as well as Western and Northern Europe. He gained international recognition for his works on medieval architecture, in which he focused on the fortresses, castles and churches of the Baltic and Nordic countries. As a professor at the University of Tartu, and later at Stockholm University, he built a bridge between pre-war art history and its future researchers, and more broadly between Estonia and Sweden. Tuulse’s work and teachings became an important guide for his successors, who have continued and supplemented his research work on the Middle Ages. At the University of Tartu, this baton was handed off to Kaur Alttoa, who has been carrying it forward for decades. In 2015, the correspondence of Armin Tuulse, and his wife Liidia Tuulse (1912–2012) arrived at the Estonian Cultural History Archives from Sweden1 and currently needs to be put in order and systematised. Based thereon, it is very difficult to determine the exact size of the archive, but we can speak about hundreds of letters that were sent to Tuulse starting in 1944. A significant part of the archive DOI: https://doi.org/10.12697/BJAH.2017.13.10 Translated by Juta Ristsoo. 1 Estonian Cultural History Archives of the Estonian Literary Museum, Reg. 2015/53. 220 K ADRI ASMER ARMIN TUULSE’S ARCHIVE IN TARTU 221 NOTES ON ARMIN TUULSE AND THE TEACHING OF ART HISTORY IN TARTU In order to understand the importance of Armin Tuulse’s work, and more broadly, the developmental direction of art history as an independent discipline at the University of Tartu, one must go back to the last century, to the 1920s and 1930s.

  • Eesti 1930. Aastate Fassaadiplastika Ja Nn Protsendiseaduse Diskussioonid
    KARIN Hallas-murula 74 Eesti 1930. aastate fassaadiplastika ja nn protsendiseaduse diskussioonid KARIN HALLAS-MURULA 2011. aastal hakkas Eestis kehtima nn protsendiseadus, mille kohaselt üks protsent iga riikliku ehitise eelarvest tuleb kasutada kunsti tellimiseks. Artikkel kajastab Eesti fassaadide kaunistamist 1930. aastatel ning selleaegseid diskussioone protsendiseaduse üle, mille taustaks oli analoogsete seaduste (määruste) vastuvõtmine Euroopas. 1. jaanuaril 2011. aastal hakkas Eestis kehtima nn protsendiseadus, mille kohaselt üks protsent iga riigi poolt tellitava avaliku ruumina käsitatava ehitise või rajatise eel- arvest tuleb kasutada kunsti tellimiseks. Seaduse eesmärk on kunstide sünteesi kaudu avaliku ruumi esteetiline rikastamine ja seeläbi inimsõbralikuma keskkonna loomine. Teema arutelu aktiveerus juba 2008. aastal, kuid ettevalmistamisprotsess kulges ta- kerdudes. Protsendiseaduse vajalikkusest kirjutati mitmeid artikleid1, korraldati suur näitus ning peeti seminare2. Seadus ilmus algselt kavandatust teistsugusel kujul, kuid headmeelt tunti, et see lõpuks siiski kehtestati. Nn protsendiseadusel on oma ajalugu, mida pole seni uuritud. Nii Euroopas kui ka Eestis oli see teema esmakordselt päevakorral juba 1920.–1930. aastatel. Valgustasin tollaseid diskussioone põgusalt 2010. aastal protsendiseaduse seminaril peetud ette- kandes ning seejärel „Sirbi” artiklis, mis hiljem ilmus ka seminari kogumikus.3 Käesolev artikkel on eelnenu oluliselt täiendatud ning arhiiviviidetega varustatud eda- siarendus. Artikkel vaatleb nii protsendiseaduseteemalisi

Many different cultures and peoples have passed across the relatively small territory of our state during the centuries, and all have left their traces in some form or another. The twists of history are an eternal subject for artists and writers, and although our country is small in its population, it is great and rich in its art, literature and culture. These recount the story of our people and so help to tell it to the wider world. We are proud to be able to say that art in Estonia continues to develop in many ways. The range of exhibitions at home and the international efforts of Estonian artists and curators shape the contemporary face of Estonian art. It should also be noted that Estonia has had a national pavilion at the Venice Biennale since 1997, one of the great events of cultural affairs and the oldest and best- known of art exhibitions.
