Abstract

At the end of the first decade of the 20th century there was a new building boom in Riga – just a few years before the First World War. From 1910 to 1913, an average of 150–220 multi-storey masonry rental buildings were built in Riga. It was the most productive period in the city’s history. The practising architects in Riga at that time were mostly local residents, many of them part of the new generation of professionals who graduated from Riga Polytechnical Institute. In the beginning of the 20th century, the majority of Riga’s Art Nouveau architects were Baltic Germans, among whom there were approximately ten Latvian architects. Konstantīns Pēkšēns (1859–1928), Eižens Laube (1880–1967), Aleksandrs Vanags (1873–1919) and others were active during this period.

Even though wall tiles were among the preferred polychromatic materials, used for the decoration of the vestibules of the new rental buildings, Riga’s Art Nouveau wall tiles have yet to be properly researched.  Many wall panels were damaged during the second half of the 20th century. Tiles are often the last remains of the vestibules’ original Art Nouveau interiors. All recorded wall tiles in Riga were imported and, in most cases, produced in Germany. Moreover, it is now known that Art Nouveau tiles were imported from a least nine different German tile factories. Since the wall tiles used for the decoration of vestibules were imported, the identity of the local distributors and their cooperation with the architecture studios are of special significance. Signature tiles, which have been preserved up to this day, can help to clarify these issues, as well as to locate the distributors and manufacturers.  

Examples of wall tiles that have survived to the present day indicate that typical neoclassical decorations were common in Riga – festoons and laurel wreaths. However, different flora and fauna motifs also occur, many of which designed during the Art Nouveau period. Late Art Nouveau wall tiles are a characteristic decoration material still found in many of Riga’s vestibules.

A cidade de Riga detém um impressionante conjunto de revestimentos azulejares Arte Nova, que remontam aos anos de 1910-1913, quando o crescimento construtivo da capital letã atingiu valores muito elevados. Maioritariamente aplicados nos vestíbulos dos prédios de rendimento, e, ao que tudo indica, importados da Alemanha, estes azulejos nunca foram devidamente valorizados, inventariados ou estudados. É precisamente este o desafio abraçado por Agnese Tambaka, doutoranda da Academia de Arte da Letónia, que no AzLab#73 apresentará alguns dos resultados que já alcançou até agora. Não perca esta oportunidade de ficar a conhecer a azulejaria letã!

The city of Riga harbours an impressive set of Art Nouveau tile decorations, dating back to 1910–1913, a time when the building industry was booming in the Latvian capital. These tiles, applied mainly in the vestibules of rental buildings, and thought to have been imported from Germany, were never properly valued, catalogued or studied. That is precisely the challenge embraced by Agnese Tambaka, a PhD candidate at the Art Academy of Latvia, who will be presenting some of her findings at AzLab#73. Don’t miss this opportunity to get to know Latvia’s tile decorations!
