Johann Walter-Kurau
(1869 - 1932)
 

Johann Walter-Kurau, also known as Jānis Valters (Latvian) or Johann Walter, was a Latvian painter. He studied art at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg with Janis Rozentāls and Vilhelms Purvītis, and built up an oeuvre that ranged from the academic realism of the 1890s, through a style inspired by Impressionism and Expressionism, to the verge of abstraction with a peculiar non-objective vision of nature late in his career.
