Johan Valters

Johan Valters was a notable Latvian artist known for his unique approach to painting, which blends post-impressionist decorative styles with existential themes. His work, particularly from his periods in Berlin and Dresden, showcases a diverse range of over 90 pieces that reflect his philosophical belief in viewing nature as a 'paintable existence.' Valters' artistic journey in the 20th century is marked by a deep exploration of color and nature, influenced by the ideas of Immanuel Kant. His recent exhibition, 'Gleznojama esība,' highlighted this multifaceted creative process, offering audiences a chance to engage with previously unseen aspects of his dual-sided paintings.
