SPECIAL KUMU ROUND TABLE<br />
FINDING THE AESTHETICS OF THE FUTURE IN THE PAST:<br />
A CASE STUDY ON THE CREATIVE METHOD OF TÕNIS VINT<br />
ESTONIAN KUNSTIMUUSEUM (KUMU)<br />
THURSDAY, 31 MAY<br />
14:00-17:00<br />
Tõnis Vint (b. 1942) can be considered a key figure in Soviet Estonian art and art<br />
life. His art conception has served as an impetus <strong>for</strong><br />
many representatives of different generations working<br />
in various fields of art—<strong>for</strong> artists, architects, designers<br />
and others. Relying on his erudition related to the art<br />
traditions of various cultures and periods, Vint has<br />
created a conceptual plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> the interpretation and<br />
synthesis of various visual phenomena. While Tõnis Vint’s<br />
aesthetic system was based on older aesthetic traditions,<br />
its target was influenced by modernist rhetoric of positive<br />
trans<strong>for</strong>mation of the world and thus future-oriented,<br />
endeavouring to make the space inside and outside the picture more structured,<br />
harmonious and suitable to contemporary lifestyles.<br />
