Litvak art is a unique artistic legacy that originates from Jewish communities that lived in, or had a connection to, Lithuania, Latvia or Belarus. It is the art of these artists that has distinguished itself with its authenticity and uniqueness, and is therefore recognised worldwide as a distinct art movement. Alongside the traditional form of Jewish art, the Litvak community also saw the emergence of secular art, which dates back to the 19th and 20th centuries. In this period, the influence of modernist currents can be seen, but Litvak art has retained its own identity, with some themes and motifs (e.g. images of everyday life, especially urban and rural life, traditional Jewish customs) often reflected in both paintings and sculptures. From the mid-19th century onwards, secular motifs became increasingly prevalent in Litvak paintings. At that time, Jewish artists began to create portraits, landscapes and reflections of urban life. Painting became a means of depicting not only religious themes but also everyday life. Many painters began to record scenes of Jewish life, such as markets, community festivals and other everyday scenes that were important to the identity of the Jewish people. The exhibition features paintings, pastels and watercolours from private collections, as well as works by famous Litvaks from around the world. These artists are not only recognised worldwide, but are important figures representing the identity of Litvak art. The work of these artists has not only represented the spiritual and cultural values of Litvaks, but has also helped to preserve the history and memory of this community. They are collectible and highly significant works of art, testifying to the importance of Litvak art both here in Lithuania and abroad. The exhibition will be open at the Park Gallery (M. Valančiaus g. 6, Kaunas) until 10 January.
