As an homage to the Daugavpils-born artist on his birthday, three originals by Sigurds V\u012bdzirkste will be exhibited at the meditative \u201cSilent Space\u201d of the Mark Rothko wing, enabling the audiences to draw parallels in the fates of both artists.<\/h3>\n<p>Sigurds Arv\u012bds V\u012bdzirkste was born in Daugavpils on 10 February 1928. The artist\u2019s childhood was spent studying in Daugavpils and in Riga. At the age of just 16, Sigurds V\u012bdzirkste became a refugee, initially seeking asylum in Germany. At Christmas 1950, he moved to the USA and settled with his family in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>The artist received professional training at the Art Students\u2019 League of New York, which had been attended by such world-renowned artists as Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Robert Rauschenberg and Barnett Newman.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the artist was influenced by abstract expressionists, including Mark Rothko, but with time established and maintained his own individual style, which has put his name in the annals of art history.<\/p>\n<p>Sigurds V\u012bdzirkste was interested in the absolute rhythm \u2013 spontaneous and calculated, regular and irregular, symmetrical and asymmetrical, in intervals \u2013 changeable and unchangeable, in degrees of dot relief as indicators of a distance and bearers of timbral gradations, in polyphonic layering and minimalist asceticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until 20 August 2018 Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre offers an
