Kompozicija. Pažaislis 1921

"Kompozicija. Pažaislis" (1921) by Lithuanian artist Vytautas Kairiukstis is a striking example of Cubist-inspired painting. The artwork showcases a fragmented and abstract representation of the Pažaislis Monastery, a significant landmark in Lithuania. The composition is dominated by bold geometric forms, with the building's structure broken down into intersecting planes and angles, rendering it both recognizable and highly stylized. The use of vibrant colors, primarily earthy tones and blues, adds depth and a sense of movement to the piece. Kairiukstis's exploration of Cubism during this period, influenced by international art trends, exemplifies his innovative approach to depicting Lithuanian architecture and landscapes.
