The powerful printmaking of Aleksandrs Karpovs. Interview with Kārlis Kanderovskis
Aleksandrs Karpovs, US born graphic artist of Latvian descent, led a remarkable life. An exhibition, presenting his powerful and provocative printmaking was opened in The Global Center for Latvian Art in the town of Cēsis on 25 March. On that day Latvians commemorate every year the mass deportations of over 40.000 people to Siberia in 1949, carried out by the Soviets. I speak with Kārlis Kanderovskis, the director of the Center, about the life and art of Aleksandrs Karpovs and the importance of preserving the strong bond with your home country. Art and politics in the past and the present.
