A.Pormaļa Museum House Add an Object
At the end of the 19th century, the Pormaļa family moved from Birži to Jēkabpils and built a small house on a purchased piece of land. Over time, the house was renovated, but the artist lived in it for most of his life. A. Pormaļa's first creative works were created at Jēkabpils School, after which the aspiring artist studied at the Stiglitz School of Art in Petrograd, later at the Latvian Academy of Art, in the painting class of Jānis Kuga. In 1928, he graduated from the academy as a ceramist (with a diploma work - a fireplace). The artist actively participated in exhibitions from 1927, and in 1937, the fireplace he created was awarded a silver medal at the Paris exhibition. Before World War II, he worked at the Riga Applied Art Middle School, and later in Rēzekne. From 1946 to 1950, he was the director of the Jēkabpils Children's Art School.
