Kurts Fridrihsons Collection

The collection of 1,476 paintings in water-colours by Kurts Fridrihsons made during his imprisonment in the Gulag in 1951-1956 is only part of the 3,500 artworks he produced during his time in the Gulag. A part of works depict Gulag camp and its environments, but the most of them reflect associations with literature and drama, and are testimony of artist's effort to dissociate himself from atmosphere of the camp and to sustain his intellectual interests.

库尔茨·弗里德里洪森斯在1951年至1956年间，被囚禁于古拉格期间创作的1476幅水彩画作品，仅占其古拉格生涯中创作的3500件艺术作品的一部分。其中一部分作品描绘了古拉格营地及其环境，然而，大部分作品则映射了与文学和戏剧的关联，并见证了艺术家试图与营地氛围相脱离，以维系其智力兴趣的努力。
