Philippe Halsman
Creativity is to discover a question that has never been asked. If one brings up an idiosyncratic question, the answer he gives will necessarily be unique as well.
CUT ART Foundation has launched an initiative to create the Philippe Halsman Museum, which is
currently in the preparation stage. Known worldwide for iconic works such as Albert Einstein's
tongue-out portrait and Salvador Dalí's flying cats, Halsman’s contributions to photography are
legendary, though the man himself remains less celebrated.
The mission of the museum is to honor and preserve Philippe Halsman’s legacy by presenting his
pioneering work and life story, while also emphasizing Latvia’s role in global cultural heritage. The
museum will function as an educational and cultural hub, offering interactive lectures,
masterclasses, and exhibitions to inspire photographers, art enthusiasts, and the broader public.
