Framed. 28" x 22", framed 33-1/2" x 27-1/2" Provenance: Jean Bragg Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana. Notes: A self-proclaimed "romantic realist", Auseklis Ozols favors painting plein air for his landscapes in order to personally connect with nature. Ozols was awarded a commission for a mural of the Louisiana landscape incorporating indigenous birds and animals for the entrance of the Governor's Mansion in Baton Rouge. Born in Strenci, Latvia, Ozols immigrated to America as a child with his family and pursued an artistic career at the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and earned a Master of Fine Arts from Temple University. Ozols moved to New Orleans, and in 1978 founded the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, where he emphasized the classical disciplines of drawing and composition and modeled the curriculum after his experiences at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.
