The exhibition "Valdis Bušs 100. Connection"

The Jūrmala Museum will open the exhibition "Valdis Bušs 100. Connection". 
Valdis Bušs (1924 - 2014), a great painter, is 100 years old this year. His name needs no comment - the canvases, covered with large-scale palette knife strokes, shine with a vivid and harmonious variety of colours, awakening a hopeful mood in the viewers. "Valdis Bušs is such a beautiful sign in our culture," the painter Džemma Skulme once said. The artist lived in Jūrmala for 59 years, held his first solo exhibition there in 1972, and led the Jūrmala Artists Group for almost 10 years.  However, his name and the significance of his art have many times transcended the borders of Jūrmala and even Latvia, filling exhibition halls in Germany, Switzerland, France and elsewhere in Europe.
