Daut Pasha Amam baths, Skopje

Halpern, Joel Martin · [ca. May 1954]

Daut Pasha Amam baths (old Turkish bath). According to Joel and Barbara Halpern's field notes from 1954, "Until a few years ago, the building still functioned as a Turkish steam bath. Now it has been reinforced and fixed up inside and is a most interesting art gallery. There was an exhibition by Lazar Ličenoski, born in the village of Galičnik. He studied in Paris and has been very prolific. Most of his work is landscapes and nudes but he also painted peasant scenes. Another aspect of the exhibition was his mosaics. Rare to see nowadays, and very nice. While we were there we met him but he was busy chatting with the director of a university in Paris."
