On Tõnis Vint’s Nude Art of the 1970s in the Context of Decadent Aesthetics

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the Estonian artist Tõnis Vint’s 1970s nude drawings and prints within the framework of decadent aesthetics. Vint’s works have often been associated with Far Eastern art and philosophy, but he himself highlighted links to historical decadent aesthetics. He frequently cited Romanticists and Pre-Raphaelites as influences. Nevertheless, his reception so far has considered connections with decadence only briefly. As Tõnis Vint’s oeuvre is very multifaceted, the current article focuses only on a part of it – the figurative compositions from the 1970s.
