About the Item
Old city
1980s, oil on cardboard, 50x61 cm
The artwork depicts a view of an old cityscape, characterized by its architectural features and urban atmosphere. The artist's portrayal captures the essence of the city, providing a glimpse into its unique charm and character.
The focal point of the painting is the red sky, which sets the overall tone and mood of the artwork. The red sky may evoke a sense of intensity, drama, or even a surreal atmosphere. It creates a striking contrast against the cityscape, drawing attention to the urban setting.
Laimdots Murnieks has said: "I am a sunny artist. The sun and a woman are the center of the world. It is not for nothing that the sun always comes with me in my paintings - it is the basis of everything and symbolizes my wife - Zhanna. I think that a woman is what inspires the whole world to do good deeds. I want to express such an idea with my painting - that the good will always win, that the beautiful will always win the world. That's the main thing! Neither war nor tragedies ever impress people like that, but it is beauty that gives strength to continue working and living . I was born under the Star of Happiness - everything has been achieved. Both in art and in love."
Laimdots Murnieks (1922-2011) studied at Cesis and Jelgava teachers’ institutes (1938 – 44). He graduated from the Painting Department of the Latvian Art Academy (1953, diploma work “Winged helper”, under the guidance of V. Kozins).
