    Developed by the artist’s son, this retrospective exhibit explores Evalds Dajevskis’ artistic roots in the ancient traditions of Latvians, which informed his work as a painter and scenographer in his native Latvia, postwar Germany and on Broadway in the United States.



    Works shown include set designs for theater productions raised in the refugee camps of postwar Germany, as well as fanciful contraptions and storybook illustrations from the artist's imagination.



    The exhibit is part of a “farewell tour” of Dajevskis’ work in the U.S. before it becomes a part of the permanent collection of the Liepaja City Museum in Liepaja, Latvia.
