About the Item

Jānis Gleizds was born on May 7, 1924, near Rēzekne. He spent most of his life in Riga. At the young age of 24, he lost the palms of both hands in an accident, but despite the fact that both of his hands were amputated, he gained world fame with his art photos through persistent work, especially adapting cameras and other equipment for hands-free photography, throughout his life. Jānis Gleizds has participated in more than 800 exhibitions and has brought home diplomas and countless medals from exhibitions on all continents of the world. Isohelia is a special technique used by Jānis Gleizds, when one frame is reproduced several times in different degrees of illumination, thus achieving the necessary light effect, which is popularly known as the white technique. "During Gleizd's time, no one was doing it except him. Isohelia and girls are the things that made Jānis Gleizds climb the world's diamond mountain," - Igors Pličs calls one of Jānis Gleizds's especially cultivated genres of photo art - nudes. "He is a pioneer. He started photographing those girls when in the Soviet era it was considered pornography, so he sent his works abroad - to Hungary, Germany, the Czech Republic. There he received awards, only later did he admit here that it was not pornography, it was art, the genre of which is called nude. The most interesting thing is that before photographing those girls, he, already without arms, drew them."
