Composition
14 Paintings
Chinese painters who once made reproductions of Western masterpieces now create their own work. Fourteen paintings and the places where they hang tell a story of creativity, hope, capitalism, and artistic freedom and constraint.
Nocturne for a Forest
The ghosts of oppressed women from across the centuries still haunt the forest around an old Portuguese monastery. When they speak up, light appears, in this mesmerizing experimental work with a creative, activist message.
Cohabitants
Portrait of the inhabitants of Piirissaar, a tiny island in a lake in Estland, near the border with Russia. The hundred or so people who live there cherish both their Russian and Estonian traditions.
Cats in Riga
This view of the Latvian capital through cats’ eyes and ears adds a new dimension to news reports.
