Lietuvos modernizmo savitumas Vidurio Europos meno kontekste: atvejo studija: Vincas Kisarauskas (1934-1988)

ENUp until now, Soviet Lithuanian culture has been analyzed in the regional art context of the Baltic States, while links with the Eastern Bloc countries and some Western European ones have been noted only fragmentarily. As studies of Lithuanian artistic culture in the Soviet period have become increasingly numerous in the last decade, there is an evident need to contextualize Soviet Lithuanian art from a broader perspective. After the Independence of Lithuania art experts substantiated the concept of nonconformist art, based on studies of manifestations of modernism that opposed the ideology of communism. In the beginning of the 21st century, the researchers focused on the functioning mechanisms of the official art discourse, dissemination of art, censorship, the relationship of art and politics, and other issues. Simultaneously, the studies of the immanent development of local modernism, aesthetic theories and concrete artistic practices were left aside. The main objective of the present research is to analyze the work of Kisarauskas in the context of Central European art. The research is focused on construction of a new discourse of Soviet modernism. It is aimed at deconstruction of the stereotype of nonconformist art and the way of thinking about the art of this particular period based on the oppossion frames.
