Monumental decorative art, including relief works, has experienced widespread neglect and destruction throughout the twentieth century, often linked to shifts in the political system. These works frequently garnered significant attention and were frequently categorized as “Soviet-era” and ideologically driven. The majority of these pieces were created by professional and accomplished artists, with limited direct connections to the Soviet regime.

Olev Siinmaa’s relief in Pärnu, photographed by Ekke Väli in 1981 (Photo: Estonian Architecture Museum), is one such example.
