M.K.Ciurlionis Painting Gallery

The painting of Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis enriched Lithuanian fine arts giving a special authority to it. The universality and new plastic discoveries of his works surpassed his contemporaries and merged with the sphere of world's art. Not only did Ciurlionis attract everybodies attention with his unique individuality, but he was also one of those who proclaimed the concept of Lithuanian national art of the twentieth century.

A Short Survey

The beginning of the twentieth century is rather chaotic. Thousands of things I have seen made me an impression that painting tries to break out, to struggle through prevailing boundaries, but still makes no progress.
