The book is dedicated to Sergei Antonov (1884—1956), an outstanding Russian architect and artist who lived and worked in Latvia in the first half of the 20th century.
Sergei Antonov was born in Riga, where he spent most of his life. He is known as a successful architect, teacher and set designer, who also focused on easel art, leaving a significant legacy in all of the mentioned fields. The monograph co-created by Ludmila Pestova and Jānis Lejnieks is the first attempt for a detailed analysis of Antonov's work, devoting separate chapters to the artist's life and creative activity.
