kosmogooniliste

Kosmogooniliste refers to a group of Estonian architects and artists who were active in the early 20th century. The name "kosmogooniliste" is derived from the Estonian word "kosmogoonia," meaning cosmogony, or the study of the origin and formation of the universe.

The kosmogooniliste movement was characterized by its focus on applied arts and design. Members of the group sought to create works that were functional and aesthetically pleasing, often incorporating elements of folk art and traditional Estonian motifs. Their designs were influenced by the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in Europe at the time.

Some of the key figures associated with the kosmogooniliste movement include architects such as HellÕn Gradõn, whose work included the design of buildings, furniture, and textiles. Artists like Olga Pul ve Weinberg created decorative arts pieces, including ceramics and metalwork, that embodied the group's values.

The kosmogooniliste movement faded in the mid-20th century, as Estonian architecture and design became increasingly influenced by Soviet Realism. Despite this, the group's legacy can still be seen in modern Estonian design, which often incorporates elements of folk art and traditional motifs.

Today, the kosmogooniliste movement is recognized as an important part of Estonian cultural heritage. Their work continues to inspire designers and artists, who draw on the group's innovative and functional approach to applied arts and design.
