Art Walk. The Mei Sisters: Avant-Garde and the Everyday Life 25/05/2025 | 15:00

The sisters Kristine (1895–1969), Lydia (1896–1965) and Natalie (1900–1975) Mei entered the Estonian art life in the second half of the 1910s. They included in their works themes and viewpoints that were unusual for female creators, rising into the ranks of the classic masters of Estonian modernism by using marginal and less appreciated techniques. The exhibition contains drawings, watercolours, small sculptures and collages, as well as everyday items and unique handmade booklets authored under pseudonyms. Besides socio-critical attitudes, which were very unusual for female authors, we also find re-interpretations of canonical artworks.
