"The Lithuanian National Museum of Art's international partnerships are opening up more and more unique opportunities for those interested in art. Last year, we presented an exhibition of contemporary Lithuanian art curated by Jurgita Ludavičienė and Evaldas Stankevičius at MOCAK. This year, MOCAK is sending Vilnius an impressive return gift - an introduction to contemporary Polish painting. It is a snapshot of an entire generation's worldview, directed by MOCAK's own director, curator and art theorist Maria Anna Potocka," says Dr. Arūnas Gelūnas, Director General of the Lithuanian National Museum of Art. "Painting stands out as a very powerful weapon among the arts. In Poland, it is particularly appreciated because, despite its late beginnings, dating back only to the mid-19th century, it has since gained vigour, developed a large number of personalities and established a partnership dialogue with European art history," says Maria Anna Potocka, the curator of the exhibition. The exhibition features works by eighteen Polish artists. The majority of the works on show are from the 21st century. The exhibition is divided into four thematic parts: exploring the object and the word, the human being, symbolic scenes and the density of reality. The Radvila Palace Art Museum (Vilniaus g. 24, Vilnius) will be open until 13 October.
