The summary of the Part II Angelo de Sousa (1938 2011)

Artist could have been 6 instead of 70 and there is childhood in his works.
Patricija Pakalniete, PMAS, Riga

ngelo de Sousa
(1938 2011)

The students did not know anything about the artist so far. Watching closely art reproductions and matherials, students admitted, that they were inspired by the artists mastery skills, different techniques and different materials used.

From still-life instalation to creative painting improvisation about Angelo de Sousa

The complex of process from beggining to end - from instalations to painting

No emotions arose to me while looking at the works of Sousa. I admire what a lightness of paper he has managed to give to the metal. It was unusual that we had to make the still life and fold the spatial object by ourselves in the style of Sousa and then paint it. However, the result seemed rather unpleasant to me. Solveiga, PMAS,Riga

I liked that in the works I didnt feel hatred. I would like to ask where does the
ideas come from?? I thought that artist is 30 years old. Diana PMAS,Riga Vithout title-its a rainbow, changing its way. The path, sunlight and the shadows. Annija Cimermane, RCPAAS, Riga The artist in his works is leaving free space for fantasy. Each of us can see different things in his works. Each of us have our own associations with the forms, colours and rythms made by the artist. Ieva Antone, RCPAAS, Riga

This artist is interesting within his simplicity he draws all kinds of oddities and things which do not exist. Elizabete, PMAS, Riga

This artist is interesting within his simplicity he draws all kinds of oddities and within my opinion, those works could be considered nothing at the first glance or nothing special. But then when you really get deeply into the work you can feel the real thought of it. Sintija, PMAS,Riga

The international acclaim - 1979 2nd prize Silver Medal 4th Cleveland International Drawing Biennale (The first Gold medal received Henry Moor) and 1983 3rd prize 6th Cleveland International Drawing Biennale in Great Britain.

The summary of the Part I Boriss Berzins (1930 2002)

He is one of the most outstanding values that the last century and Latvia has left to the world... there is no doubt that Latvian painting in the second half of the 20th century has lived under the star of Boriss Berzis.

Latvians preferthe the traditional colours the tonality of difference of brown colour

The stories about the essential problems of life and how it reflects in students messages in simple stories by line, colour and design elements, by using the written text visual and textual messages, by discussions according the cannons of beauty and by experiments of using the Gold as color.
