An exhibition of Latvian art opened in Petrograd in 1915. In 1916, a similar exhibition was held in Moscow. It was intended to promote the establishment of Latvians as an independent nation. Latvian art enjoyed its international benefits in the \u2018theatre of war\u2019 to win acclaim for Latvian political and cultural goals. For the first time, the new notion of \u2018Latvian art\u2019 resounded widely in the periodical press of the two imperial metropolises and even beyond when Pavel Ettinger reviewed the exhibition in Moscow in The Studio <\/em>\u00a0magazine in England. Ettinger argued that the \u2018dominant German classes of the Baltic provinces\u2019 had historically suppressed \u2018the Letts\u2019 and found that \u2018naturally enough this newly developed art [\u2026] has been unable to escape the influence of German art,\u2019 showing itself \u2018even in the work of artists who have studied at the Petrograd Academy\u2019.<\/p>\n

These Latvian d\u00e9buts made outside the Baltic are closely associated with the activities of the Latvian Society for the Promotion of Art. Founded in 1911 in Riga, it reached the peak of its success in the short period from the outbreak of the First World War to 1915, when mass evacuations emptied Riga. By the end of 1914, the society had assembled numerous works of art for its planned Museum of Latvian Art. The art collection was moved to Petrograd in 1915, and numerous works were displayed in the exhibitions mentioned above. The collection returned to Latvia only in 1923, when it emerged as a new state on the European map. The works of some Latvian artists were \u2018mobilised\u2019 to fight for two radically different and competing projects in the geopolitical future of Latvia. Their works were exhibited in the Russian exhibitions mentioned above, the Kurland-Ausstellung<\/em> (1917) and the Livland-Estland-Ausstellung<\/em> (1918). These exhibitions were held in Germany to promote the monarchist, pro-German idea of the United Baltic Duchy<\/em> (das Vereinigte Baltische Herzogtum<\/em>).<\/p>\n
