Antanas Gudaitis: Stroke and Colour

Viktorija Gelžinienė — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 16:24:58 +0000

A. Gudaitis is one of the most important painters who established expressionist tendencies in the modern national painting school. His work was inspired by Lithuania, its nature, people and folk art. The people, birds and other objects depicted in Gudaitis's works are similar to the works of folk masters, i.e. woodcarvers. The faces of the people look like those of wooden sculptures: stern, generalised, laconic, the colour scheme of the paintings is as if drawn from the fabrics of folk weavers.
A. Gudaitis can be called a titan of Lithuanian art, because he took inspiration from the everyday Lithuanian environment, folk art and ordinary people.

The sound of matter

The catalog "The Sound of Matter" links two things: contemporary jewelry and Japanese art. Wood carvings have been known in Japan since the 9th century. Until the 17th century, printing using wood panels was a convenient way to restore and multiply written (mostly religious) texts.

And what unites jewelry and Japanese ukio-ed engravings? It is open to nuances and details, sophistication, subtlety, aesthetic cleanliness and harmony. The publication presents the exclusive collection of Japanese wood engravings stored in the collections of the "Dawn" museum. The main and unifying idea of the catalogue is nature, naturalness, aesthetics. The publication is relevant for those interested in modern jewelry, and for those who admire Japanese culture.

The catalogue "The Sound of Matter" is also intriguing in its form – here you will find two parts, as if two separate books, and in one they also a workport that can be used to frame the engraving you like.

The Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania has proclaimed 2020 as the Year of the Vilna Gaon and the History of Lithuanian Jews. The Šiauliai “Aušra” Museum continues the tradition and introduces the material and spiritual heritage of Jewish culture in Lithuania. In its collections, the Museum is proud to have particularly valuable Judaism iconography. This material has made a significant contribution to the inclusion of Jewish culture in the general cultural heritage of Lithuania. G. Bagdonavičius' drawings have a special place in the preservation of Litvak history.

This catalogue presents the artist's drawings which reflect the living environment of Lithuanian Jews, their cultural and religious life.

Rose code

The rose of Chaim Frankel's villa at the Siauliai "Dawn" Museum, which was introduced in spring 2018, inspired the idea to organize an exhibition about roses. The catalogue contains not only images of exhibits in the exhibition, which are stored in various Museums of Lithuania, but also images of exhibits from various collections of the "Aušra" museum, which complement the theme of the rose and allow the reader to get acquainted with the numerous collections of the "Dawn" museum.
