    Kārlis Jansons

    Aivars Leitis

    The series “Classics of Latvian Art” presents a book about sculptor Kārlis Jansons (1896–1986).

    Sculptor Kārlis Jansons is known as the author of ardent figures, rich in expressive muscular motion; he has worked mainly in the field of monumental and memorial sculpture. The monuments created by the artist can be seen in several cities of Latvia, however they have also suffered mutilation and destruction due to 20th century changes of power. Nowadays, his son, sculptor Andrejs Jansons, has restored the most outstanding of them – the monument to the liberators of Jelgava “Lāčplēsis and the Black Knight” (1932) and the “Māra of Latgale” monument in Rēzekne (1939).

    We can also see Kārlis Jansons' memorial works in Latvian cemeteries, especially in Riga Forest Cemetery where there are 21 works. The best known of them is the memorial to the First President of Latvia, Jānis Čakste (1935).

    The artist has also worked in autonomous sculpture making por
