Albert Goltjakov, At Jurmala, 1960, Linocut

About This Piece

At Jurmala

1960, 1/10, paper, linocut, 45x37 cm

The artwork depicts a railway setting, specifically at Jurmala, during the evening hours. The dark-toned nature of the composition suggests a subdued or moody atmosphere.

The linocut technique involves carving a design into a linoleum block, applying ink to the raised surface, and transferring the image onto paper. This process typically results in bold and textured graphic prints. The graphic nature of the linocut technique can lend itself well to capturing the linear aspects and sharp angles of the railway.

Albert Goltyakov (1924-2016)

Studied at the Krasnoselsk Technical School of Artistic Metal Processing (1948-52), graduated from the LVMA Department of Graphics (1959); diploma thesis – illustrations for the Е.M. Remark novel "Time to live and time to die" (directed by P. Upītis).
