Aim of the course

The aim of the lectures is not only to present the cultural life in Soviet and independent Lithuania, but also to reveal its uniqueness, to help understand that Lithuanian art and culture developed independently, influenced by national traditions and tendencies of Western Europe, not by Soviet ideology.

The student will be able to orientate himself/herself in the trends of contemporary Lithuanian art, to describe their most important features. The student will be able to analyse the features of the chosen branch of art in depth.
