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.

32 Cherished and Perished Monuments Some 19th-Century Cases of Renovation in the Baltic Heimat * KRISTINA JÕEKALDA SUMMARY Introduction Ever since the early 19th century, the handling of Heritage by nature involves a dialogue between medieval monuments, such as the St Olaf’s church history and the ways of remembering it.

Rethinking National Romanticism in the Architecture of Riga at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
SILVIja GROSA 56 Rethinking National Romanticism in the Architecture of Riga at the Turn of the Twentieth Century Silvija Grosa The article deals with the problem of interpretation related to national romanticism in Riga’s early twentieth-century architecture, focusing on the development of the term, as well as on its suitability. The complex cultural-historical context of early twentieth-century Riga is delineated; as in many peripheries of Europe, Riga was permeated by searches for a national style in the neo-romanticist vein typical of the period. This study attempts to answer the question of whether this trend, known in the Latvian history of architecture as Latvian national romanticism, really expresses the aspirations for a Latvian national style, as Baltic German architects were involved in its implementation and the trend was critically reviewed in early twentieth- century Latvian periodicals. In addition, architects of Latvian origin also put forward some ideas regarding classical heritage as a possible paradigm of national art. Fifteen years ago Riga’s historical centre was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, testifying to the unique character and artistic quality of its architecture. This prestigious status has led both local and international circles to take an interest in Riga’s architecture at the turn of the twentieth century; the number of publications dealing with this subject has also increased. Still, not all issues related to the study and interpretation of Riga’s architecture have been resolved. This article aims to take up the problem of interpretation of ‘national romanticism’ in Riga’s architecture; the issue is well described in the text found on the website of the Riga Art Nouveau Museum: National romanticism reflects the attempts of Riga’s architects to create a spe- cific Latvian architecture. -
Artistic Alliances and Revolutionary Rivalries in the Baltic Art World, 1890–1914
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Uopen Journals Copyright: © The Author(s). Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 Artistic Alliances and Revolutionary Rivalries in the Baltic Art World, 1890–1914 Bart Pushaw HCM 4 (1): 42–72 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.503 Abstract In the areas now known as Estonia and Latvia, art remained a field for the Baltic German minority throughout the nineteenth century. When ethnic Estonian and Latvian artists gained prominence in the late 1890s, their presence threatened Baltic German hegemony over the region’s culture. In 1905, revolution in the Russian Empire spilled over into the Baltic Provinces, sparking widespread anti-German violence. The revolution also galvanized Latvian and Estonian artists towards greater cultural autonomy and independence from Baltic German artistic insti- tutions. This article argues that the situation for artists before and after the 1905 revolution was not simply divisive along ethnic lines, as some nationalist historians have suggested. Instead, this paper examines how Baltic German, Estonian and Latvian artists oscillated between com- mon interests, inspiring rivalries, and politicized conflicts, question- ing the legitimacy of art as a universalizing language in multicultural societies. Keywords: Baltic art, Estonia, Latvia, multiculturalism, nationalism Introduction In the 1860s a visitor of the port towns of Riga or Tallinn would have surmised that these cities were primarily German-speaking areas of Imperial Russia. By 1900, however, one could hear not only German, but Latvian, Estonian, Russian, as well as Yiddish on the streets of Riga 42 HCM 2016, VOL. -
JŪRMALA Your MICE Destination 10 REASONS to CHOOSE JŪRMALA AS YOUR MICE DESTINATION
JŪRMALA your MICE destination 10 REASONS TO CHOOSE JŪRMALA AS YOUR MICE DESTINATION UNDISCOVERED 1. GEM According to the MICE global trends, the corporate clients are looking for the uncommon, distinguished destinations and experience to make the delegates feel the exclusiveness of the event. Jūrmala is a European resort “off the beaten track” with a great MICE destination potential – safe, green, sustainable, conveniently accessible, affordable, with well- designed infrastructure. Still undiscovered enough, still special, still unique. INTERNATIONAL 2. ACCESSIBILITY Jūrmala is located just 25 km away from the Latvian capital of Riga and only in 15-minute drive from Riga International Airport that offers more than 60 direct flights. In low season, the traffic to/from Jūrmala is always light and predictable that helps to manage the time efficiently and avoid wasting precious minutes in traffic. SIZE 3. MATTERS Although Jūrmala population is just a bit more than 55 000, it is the second largest city in Latvia after Riga. Thus, population density figures are very inviting for the visitors who are looking for the privacy and their own special snug place on the beach after the day’s hard work. When it comes to event planning, the advantage of the small well-planned city infrastructure is obvious. As the main hotels, restaurants and special venues are concentrated in the city center within walking distance, there is no need to worry about the transfers. Another advantage for the organizers, as A penny saved is a penny gained. SOCIAL PROGRAM 4. AND TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITIES Be it a workshop for the narrow-field professionals or international conference, the delegates are always looking forward to the unofficial networking opportunities and exciting team building activities to get more personal with their colleagues. -
Seeking Baltic German Art in the Nineteenth Century 79
Baltic Identity via German Heritage? Seeking Baltic German Art in the Nineteenth Century 79 Baltic Identity via German Heritage? Seeking Baltic German Art in the Nineteenth Century* Kristina JÕekalda The paper investigates the Baltic art historiography concerned with the heritage of medieval architecture in what is now Estonia and northern Latvia, aiming to detect possible conflicts and collisions – or at least a tense relationship – between a specifically Baltic identity and an inevitably German heritage. Against the background of the cultural and national aspirations of the German ‘motherland’, tsarist Russia and native Estonians/Latvians, the Baltic German identity constructions gradually became more and more pronounced in the course of the long nineteenth century. Asking when the need to differentiate between a German and a Baltic German heritage was first sensed, and when the research on this heritage was placed in the context of art history, the writings by the German-born, but Riga-based art historian Wilhelm Neumann serve as a case study. The focal point of the paper is the interrelation between the ‘discovery’ of the local heritage and the emergence of art history: the texts examined mirror the constructions of a Baltic identity, as much as they mirror the influence of the (German) discipline of art history. Can the fact that the roots of both of these were in Germany be considered a situation of double colonialisation? How independent were Baltic German authors in their opinions and conceptions? Can studies on these issues benefit -
