Personal exhibition of Jura Gērmans "FOR A PERSON"

On January 22, the Ogre Museum of History and Art will open the exhibition of portraits of the artist Juris Ģermanis "About a Person", where Juris Ģermanis invites you to look into his world of portraits - the people he met at different stages of his life. For more than half a century, the artist has focused on the human image in his works, especially portraits of contemporaries, in which not only likeness is important, but also personality, environment and feeling.

The exhibition features portraits whose stories range from personal memories to cultural history. Among them are the chess player Mihails Tāls, the artist's wife - the sculptor Lucija Kleina, the theater actor Uldis Vazdiks and other important people in the artist's life, including personalities related to Ogra and its surroundings.

Juris Ģermanis is one of the brightest personalities of his generation in Latvian painting. He has been participating in exhibitions since 1967, was a teacher and was active in the Union of Artists of Latvia. Even at the age of 85, the artist continues to paint.
