Curated to emphasize generational continuity in Bulgarian art, the show brings together a teacher and his former students from Sofia’s art high school in the 1960s. Art historian Anelia Nikolaeva highlights how the artists — now acclaimed in their own right — reflect a vibrant artistic lineage.
Vassil Valev (1934–2021), a former professor at the National Academy of Art, was instrumental in advancing Bulgarian watercolor painting and founding major forums like the Targovishte Plein Air and national exhibitions.
