By the Lake

1977, oil on canvas, 82x100 cm (with frame 84,5x102,5x3,5 cm) /// Valdis Bušs (1924–2014) is one of the most distinguished Latvian modern landscape painters whose works stand out for their unique colour contrasts and dynamic compositions. His work, created in the second half of the 1970s, stands out for its contrasts of light and dark and rich shades of green and blue that give the piece a lively and fresh atmosphere. Thick, energetic brushstrokes create a textured surface that adds depth and a sense of movement to the painting. /// The artist’s signature and date are placed in the lower right.
