A Boston cityscape

This picture was painted when Vizgirda moved to Boston. After six years of tension and the uncertainty of a life in exile, he felt more at ease there, and painted more spontaneously, with rough brushstrokes, highlighting the dark contours of trees and roofs. The colours are cheerful and Fauvist. As before, especially in his interwar pictures, the houses are wrapped in the foliage of trees. Later, the pace of Boston city life changed the nature of his cityscapes: small, intimate Lithuanian towns were replaced by urban, more rational and more tightly composed views
