You are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition at 6 pm on Friday 14 April 2017, at the National Gallery of Art (Konstitucijos ave 22, Vilnius). Press conference: 11 am, Friday 14 April, in the Auditorium of the Gallery.
'Personal. Lithuanian Women's Art 1918–1940' commemorates the 80th anniversary of the first group exhibition by Lithuanian women artists. It is the first comprehensive presentation of interwar art by Lithuanian women, and an attempt to de-marginalise some personalities of the 1920s and 1930s whose intimate and often realistic work is part of Lithuanian art history, reflecting the times and influencing their contemporaries. The exhibition focuses mainly on art by women in the first half of the 20th century.
The exhibition presents paintings, sculptures and graphics from Lithuania’s Golden Art Fund from the first half of the 20th century. Visitors will see creative work by some little-known artists, as well as several examples of ‘small arts’. Additional visual and textual material facilitates aesthetic perception and provides guidelines for interpretation of artworks and art phenomena.The history of interwar women's art is told through individual exhibits selected from national and republican museums, the artists' families, and private collections in Lithuania. The exhibition will contain several works from the collection of Rolandas Valiūnas (Ada Peldavičiūtė-Montvydienė Nude woman with a cigarette, 1934; Zofija Liseckaitė-Plechavičienė Still-Life with Dead Pheasant and Lemons, 1938).
