Abstract

The article presents the author's research into dwelling decoration as practiced in the village of Sošice. The theoretical assumptions for the aesthetics of dwellings are formulated in the first part of the article as a subject of ethnological research. The second part consists of concise information on the period and form of research; on the natural features and historical processes that have taken place in Sošice, a small town in an economically poorly developed part of Croatia; on the basic features of the architectural environment and the most significant dwelling processes that have occurred within it over the last eighty years. The decoration of dwellings observable in the given period, from 1981 to 1985, in houses that are still occupied, is described in the third part. Research has registered several decoration styles, which correspond to the general social and cultural conditions and village residential standards characteristic for the early 20th century, the period between the two world wars, and the post-war period.
