 HISTORY OF LATVIAN ART SALONS – THE OPENING PAGES 1909–1911
Kristiāna Ābele
While looking for some detailed information for a book on artist Pēteris Krastiņš, I stumbled upon some confusion regarding the first Latvian art salons in Riga around 1910. In various publications the circumstances of their foundation and activities were described inaccurately and inexactly; however, recently some facts have come to light which allow for a more clear definition of the role of the new salons in the cultural environment of Riga, and afford a look at the faces and fates of their creators. |
