Art of the Baltics: The Struggle for Freedom of Artistic Expression under the Soviets, 1945–1991
“Art of the Baltics” is the first major survey of the development of modernist art in Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia during the post-World War II Soviet period. The contributors discuss and reappraise the art of Baltic artists working in modernist styles. They argue that Estonian, Lithuanian, and Latvian art did not develop in similar ways. Estonia, for example, had closer contact with Scandinavian countries, while Lithuania clearly was part of Central Europe, and was more influenced by Poland. Published in conjunction with the exhibition “The Art of the Baltics and the Soviets” at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, 9.12.2001-17.03.2002.
