Lithuania in Litvak Arts
You are kindly invited to the opening of the exhibition “Lithuania in Litvak Arts”, devoted to the Centennial of the restored State of Lithuania, at 5.30 p.m. on June 6 at the Tolerance Centre of the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum (Naugarduko St. 10/2, Vilnius).
The exhibition presents certain aspects of the creative work of Litvak artists, which reveal the typifying and transformation of the image of Lithuania, as well, traces the search for the Litvak identity by Litvaks in a multicultural world, which manifests in a variety of ways.
Visitors will admire the early paintings of such world famous painters as Neemiya Arbit Blatas, Max Band and Issai Kulvianski that are rarely exhibited, very few in numbers and represent the early Lithuanian period in the creative life of the artists. Art lovers will be offered an opportunity to enjoy the feeling of getting immersed in the artistic childhood memories of Samuel Bak, Théo Tobiasse, Jose Gurvich and other Litvak painters. Poetry lovers will enjoy reading poems translated from Yiddish, whereas history, music and theatre fans will have an opportunity to learn a lot of new things at the exhibition.
The exhibition is based on the collections of the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum. It has been supplemented with visual and documentary material kindly provided by other museums, archives and private collections of Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Italy, Israel, Russia, USA and Uruguay. The exhibition will contain nine works from our collection.
The exhibition will be open 06 06 2018 – 16 11 2018
Exhibition with audio guide for visually impaired
