Applied Artists as Creators of Ceramic Monumental Art in Soviet Estonia: The Past and the Future

Abstract

The article introduces the usage of ceramics in Estonian monu­ mental art in the post­war modernist era by presenting two examples involving artworks created in 1967 and 1978. Both murals have recently undergone conservation by specialists from the Department of Heritage Protection and Conservation of the Estonian Academy of Arts. In both cas­es, the conservation teams were able to interview and consult the artists who created the compositions.
