In addition to the works of art of painter Albana Shoshi, two rare nude paintings of her father are also exhibited at the Center.

One of them dates back to the distant year 1972, when Albania was under communism. It’s a painting in water colors by Zef Shoshi of warm colors and a perfect ratio of them. It began as a graphic at the former Academy of Fine Arts, to end up in a special and interesting painting.

The exhibition, which is like a meeting of generations, contains landscapes, calm nature and warm family paintings. The venue is complemented by a small stand of books, in Russian and Albanian, from the collection of the great Shoshi’s library. Among them are Tolstoy’s “War and Peace” in the original and Albanian language, a collection of Pushkin’s poems, as well as Chekhov’s stories in Italian, Moliere, Latin poets, etc. The stand carries also books by Kadare or by Gjergj Fishta, as well as studies on ethnography and Albanian visual art. /j.p/p.s./
