M.K. Čiurlionis by Pasaulio Sutverimas
Author: Pasaulio Sutverimas
Publisher: Vilnius, 1971
This covers the painting output of the modernist artist and composer MK Ciurlonis. His life began and ended in the Russian Empire, but he was Lithuanian and Polish. Hence the nationalistic pride that led to this book being published by the Lithuanian republic when it was part of the USSR. His name has been given to the national art museum in the present independence era, which means his style appealed to the Soviets and the nationalists that succeeded them. That is rare.
Ciurlonis was equally adept at composing and painting. He would see painting as music and music as a picture or portrait. The reader will be interested to see if that leads to paintings that are different from those without that mental simultaneity. To this reader, his paintings presage the images adorning science fiction novels from the 1940s to 1980s.
Condition: Good in general. Some wear around the edges but the spine and binding is intact and all plates are present and in good condition.
