Summary:

The monograph on the artist Niklavs Strunke (1894?1966) summarizes for the first time his extensive heritage ? painting, book art, set design, various branches of decorative, applied art and design.0The book includes an album of reproductions of works and documentary photographs, providing an overview of the artist and his work. This is followed by essays appraising the artistic fields in which Niklavs Strunke worked ? art historian Aija Braslina tirelessly documented Strunke?s biography and artistic contacts; artist Valdis Villeru?s scrupulously studied the world of books and graphics; Latvian theatre historian Edite Tisheizere, representing the international fraternity of avant-garde theatre researchers; art historian Ilze Martinsone revealed the unexpectedly broad scope of Strunke?s applied art.0The book is complemented by Laima Slava?s conversation with Strunke?s son artist Laris Strunke, as well as the memories of poet Pavils Johansons and Niklavs? granddaughter Laila Strunke.0The appendix comprises a comprehensive informative material and English translation of the texts.
