Karlis Padegs
Kārlis Padegs (8 October 1911 – 19 April 1940) was a Latvian artist. He studied under noted Latvian painter Vilhelms Purvītis at the Latvia Art Academy. After an exhibition mounted in 1933, Padegs' art became an expression of unpleasant, even ugly traits, contrasting with the contemporary tendency towards beauty in Latvian art.
