Sources and Contexts of Modernism in the Art of Vilnius in the Interwar Period
View through CrossRef
The paper is an attempt to define the term “Vilnius modernism”, its earliest manifestations in various, and even contradictory, formulas. The sources of modern art in Vilnius after the end of the Great War, artistic, historical and ideological contexts of the dynamically changing phenomenon of Vilnius modernism – from late symbolism, through neoclassicism, to strictly avant-garde art –are indicated. Both theoretical declarations/ manifestoes as well as works of art and their interpretations at that time are taken into account.
