Art in Vilnius 1900-1915 by Laima Lauckaite, 2008
At the turn of the 20th century Lithuania was an integral part of Europe, centrally placed between the Russian, German and Austrian empires. Its capital, Vilnius, with 40% of its inhabitants Jewish was influenced by all of the mainstream arts of the neighboring art movements. Out of these various styles arose a specific art, expressed in paintings and sculpture by talented artists. This book presents the main works underlined by in-depth articles. It shows the sometimes-contrary artistic activities between aestheticism and patriotism, a typical result of region tied up between the different political, cultural and historic influences. This title is a brilliant expression of the European artistic variety and in the same time its restriction through the influences of the mighty circles governing the world.
