Most comprehensive work on Mikalojus Ciurlionis to date
Stasys Gostautas offers a comprehensive edited introduction to andanalysis of Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis (1875-1911), the Lithuanianartist and composer who is just now beginning to emerge in the artsconsciousness of the West.

Thiry-five essays invite you to get aquaintedwith the enigmatic Ciurlionis: biographically, through the eyes of avariety of contemporaries, as well as exploring Ciurlionis art and musicanalytically and in the forces influencing his popularity or in the case ofthe West, his obscurity.

Ciurlionis had a mystic-spiritual quality.Yousee it when mentioning his name to any informed Eastern European andespecially Lithuanians.His work has a profound impact on the identity ofmillions of people and in many ways his art and music define the Lithuanianpsyche and identity.

This book definitely offers our best opportunity todate for the rest of the world to discover what Lithuanians have known forover 75 years.

I would highly recommend obatining this book. As withothers that illuminate Ciurlionis life, they tend to be difficult to finddue to limited printing runs.

Another related great book you should addto your wish list, but unfortunately is out of print right now, isLansbergis' "M.K. Ciurlionis. Time and Content".This would bethe ideal companion to Gostautas' work. ... Read more
