of Works of Graphic by Czech Artist Oldrich Kulhanek
-
- Kristina Civinskiene, Manager,
M. K. Ciurlionis Art Museum
-
- This is the next year of
cooperation between Lithuanian National M. K. Ciurlionis Art
Museum and The Embassy of Czech Republic. The Czech Embassy
presents exhibitions of works of graphics at the brunch of the

works by Karel Damel last year. This time, Dr. Janina Balsiene,
associate of the Embassy, iniciator of the cooperation, suggested
the exhibition of works of graphics by Czech artist Oldrich
Kulhanek.
- O. Kulhanek is a representative of
figurative art. In the figure of man, which is predominant in the
creative work of the artist, the author expresses the rhythm of
the life, it’s turning around, in a spiral or a somersault. His
graphic art hides his disgust of the meaningless, the foolishness
and the violence in the figure of man or in it’s detail - a
head, an eye, an ear, a mouth, a hand.
- O. Kulhanek (born in 1940) is a
worldwide-recognized Czech artist, who has unusual biography.
Kulhanek has experience the consequents of communist regime, he
was a political prisoner for his creative work. He was accused
with organization of anti-governmental activities.

Curonian and Semigallia knight Johan Ernest Biron from 1764.

Joniskis county. This coin gives knowledge not only about
circulation of Curonian coins in Lithuania, but also about trade
and other relations between Joniskis county and Curonia and
Semigallia of that time. It was important for these relations that
the distance between Joniskis and Mintauja, the capital of Curonia
and Semigallia of that time, was wery close (45 km. ).
- Lithuanian National Museum
numismatic collections do not include coins of this kind;
museologists from Jelgava (Latvia), where the coins were made,

the last exhibition delighted with numerous audience, courageous
plastic expression, modern mentality, allowed the authors to
express the accumulated energy, to demonstrate variety of styles
and techniques of graphic art, to show the influence of philosophy
of postmodern art, this year’s reference to the jazz connected
participants into more clear and ideally “clean” space.
Project was implemented on the eve of Kaunas Jazz festival, it
expresses dominating synthesis of arts and the need of synthesis
today. The main merit of the exhibition is the educational
mission. The workshop of graphics using the real printing press is
held for the next time. This unusual and for the first time in
Lithuania used method of popularization of graphic art is useful
not only for children, but also for art trainers, for whom

Surprise for Families

- M. Zilinskas Art Gallery started
implementation of the new educational program, prepared by manager
of The Children Art Laboratory of the Museum Daiva Citvariene.
- The majority of the visitors of The
M. Zilinskas Art Gallery are individual visitors; that is why the
museum was looking for methods of catching attention of not only
adult visitors but also children, to create conditions for
families to spend their leisure on their own, chamber-like,
without management and without special equipment. There were tree
attractive games created in this purpose: the set, the log and
domino. The goals of these games were acqnowledgement of the
visitors to the best museum pieces, to help to pay a deep
attention to the colors, forms and details of depicted objects.
- There were two colourfull books
published for those, who want to help children to understand the
world of art: “The Submarine Journey” and “The Recognition
of the World in the Portrait”. Walking from the one hall to
another with a help of these books, children tried to find a key
into the little-known world of art. There were, also, practical
notebooks published for drawing, coloring and improvising.
- This program is unique in Lithuania
and it awaits the test of visitor’s evaluation. All of the games
are published digitally in case of the need to change tasks and to
raise a number of copies with expedition.

The Lithuanian Art Museum; there is, also, the exhibition of
collection of Australian and Oceanian art, presented by Dr.

Center is not adopted for the needs of disabled people, while the
Gallery itself is not. Children members of The Association of
Blind and Weak-Eyed visited The Art Cognition Center for several
times. Art helps to find methods, which help to express personal
intentions and to open new opportunities.
