Janis Gailis was born near Liepaja, Latvia in 1903. He graduated from the Latvian Academy of Fine Arts in 1932. As a refugee he had to leave Latvia after the WWII. His journey as a refugee took him from Latvia to Germany and then to the United States. From the early 1960's until his death in 1975 J. Gailis devoted himself exclusively to painting and achieved international recognition. In 1974 J. Gailis was commissioned by the Federation of the United Nations Assoc. His painting "Boats at Sea" was reproduced on the Federation's envelopes to commemorate the Centennial of the Universal Postal Union. J. Gailis died suddenly on July 2 1975 in New York. A few weeks later his painting "The Sea" received the "Grand Prix Humanitaire de France 1975 - silver medal". The painting from 1948 "Neckargerbach am Neckar" was privately owned after being exhibited in many exhibits in Germany and in New York in 1952. Several of his paintings have been auctioned off and with time should appreciate in value. Size of painting 41” x 34” with original frame constructed in Germany.
