The Literature Centre`s Christmas cards
Beginning in 2003, the artist Maarja Undusk has designed the Under and Tuglas Literature Centre`s Christmas cards. She has found inspiration in Marie Under, Artur Adson, Elo Tuglas, Friedebert Tuglas, the spirit of Siuru, and the artworks, photographs and books from the Literature Centre`s collections.
The composition of the card makes use of Gori`s work „Dead Fountain“, which belongs to the Under and Tuglas Literature Centre`s art collection. Christmas card from 2009.
2017 marked the centenary of one of the most important modernist groups in Estonian cultural history (the so-called „Siuru“). The 2017 Christmas card envisioned Chrismas Night as experienced by the members of „Siuru.“
The text of the Chrismas card reads: „So you are not completely alone. Someone wakes you, goads you. Somewhere in time and space…“ (Friedebert Tuglas)
The inspiration for the 2004 Christmas card was motifs from the artworks of Nikolai Triik.
