Today, August 26, marks what would have been the 90th birthday of Arturs Ņikitins, a prominent Latvian painter and professor whose work left a significant mark on the country's art scene.

The anniversary was also the occasion for a private gathering dedicated not only to Professor Ņikitins' legacy but also to the memory of several other artists who have since passed away. The event thus took on a broader, memorial character, combining a single artist's milestone birthday with a wider tribute to departed painters.

The source report does not provide further details about the event's format, attendees, or the specific artists honored alongside Ņikitins.
