Autumn. The Author's copy from the 1970

Oil on canvas, 140x150 cm, 2021 /// A unique artwork, “Autumn. The Author’s Copy from the 1970”, by the famous classic Latvian painter Kārlis Dobrājs (1943). The painting has experienced its renaissance after 50 years; the author’s copy was painted in 2021, while the original in 1970 brought the painter international recognition. Monumentality, academic mastery and nuanced colouring are the qualities that characterize this artwork. Dobraj’s paintings are inspired by humanity and local nature, permeated by personally close symbols and attitudes. The apple tree has a special place in the artist’s life, more detailed he explained in a short video interview, which is available on the Art Platz Gallery Facebook profile.
