In the late 20th c., museum worker Balys Juodzevičius with the author of this article wrote down the recollections of people in the region of Utena - these memories help reconstruct the craftsman’s personality traits, lifestyle, and also discuss his works, the artistic features of the crosses that he created, the impact of his style on later generations of cross-makers. Art historian Dr. Laima Laučkaitė-Surgailienė has made a list of 50 pieces by A. Deveikis, of which 25 are crosses. The author of this article, based on iconographic material, photographs and drawings from the early 20th c., as well as sacral monuments that still stand in the districts of Utena, Molėtai, identifies more Deveikis-style crosses, discusses the fate of many of them. He notes that such a feel for beauty was had by few people who had not completed any education. During the first decade Lithuania’s Independence, the most style of the most beautiful crosses by Deveikis was selected as the benchmark for Eastern Aukštaitija

    Straipsnis skirtas vieno iškiliausių XX a. lietuvių tautinės tapybos mokyklos kūrėjų Antano Gudaičio (1904–1989) kūrybos, estetinių požiūrių ir pedagoginių nuostatų analizei. Dėmesys sutelkiamas į jo intelektualinės ir tapybinės evoliucijos vingius, stažuotės Paryžiuje poveikį tapytojo savito ekspresyvaus stiliaus formavimuisi. Aptariami estetiniai dailininko požiūriai ir jo ilgamečio pedagoginio darbo nuopelnai įtvirtinant tautinės tapybos principus. Dėmesys sutelkiamas į dailininko kūrybinį potencialą, pagrindinių jo pamėgtų žanrų ir jo ekspresionistinio stiliaus tapybos elementų kompozicijos, spalvos, formos tyrinėjimą. Straipsnyje teigiama, kad gaivališkos asmenybės kūrybiniai poreikiai skatino nuoseklų brendimą. Gudaitis neabejotinai tapo viena svarbiausių figūrų, modernios tautinės tapybos mokykloje įtvirtinusių ekspresionistines tendencijas. Per savo daugiau nei šešis dešimtmečius apimančią kūrybinę evoliuciją jis keitėsi, perleido per save modernios Vakarų, ypač prancūziškosios posezaninės tapybos mokyklos, patirtį, kurią sulydė su lietuvių liaudies meno tradicijomis ir lietuviškojo kraštovaizdžio spalvomis. Antra vertus, šis nenuolankus, plačios intelektualinės erudicijos menininkas buvo puikus pedagogas, išugdė daug kitų mūsų tapybos meistrų, kurie niūraus sovietmečio laikais vaisingai tęsė ir galutinai įtvirtino mūsų vaizduojamoje dailėje Vienožinskio nubrėžtas lietuvių tautinės tapybos tendencijas.

    Darbe recenzuojama Arūno Streikaus knyga "Diplomatas Stasys Antanas Bačkis". Recenzentas pažymi, kad tai nėra įprastinė "jubiliejinė" beletrizuota biografija, memorialinė panegirika ar panoraminė gyvenimo ir darbų apžvalga. Monografija nuo įprastų biografijų skiriasi ne tik tuo, kad jos adresatas yra ne plačioji auditorija, o profesinė bendruomenė, bet ir tuo, kad autorius puikiai pasirinko pasakojimo optiką. Stasys Antanas Bačkis knygos puslapiuose yra ne akademiškai aprašyta ar idealizuota istorinė asmenybė, bet gyvas ir subjektyvus veikėjas. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Lietuvos biografistika; Diplomatijos istorija; S.A. BačkisThe study reviews Arūnas Streikus’s book “Diplomatas Stasys Antanas Bačkis”. The reviewer notes that the book is not a usual “anniversary” fictionalized biography, a commemorative panegyric or a panoramic overview of life and labours. The monograph differs from usual biographies not only by the fact that its addressee is not a general public, but rather a professional community, but also that the author perfectly selected the optics of his narration. Stasys Antanas Bačkis is described not as an academic or idealized historical personality, but as a live and subjective character

    Straipsnyje nagrinėjama Antano Klemento kūryba, kurią bandoma paaiškinti remiantis jo biografijos faktais. Pateikti Klementų šeimos istorijos duomenys rodo Antano Klemento iškilimą giminėje – smulkios bajorijos atstovas tapo pavieto (vėliau apskrities) pareigūnų elito nariu. Keliama hipotezė, jog sumanymas parengti rankraštinę eilėraščių knygą buvo susijęs su visuomenėje pasiekto statuso įprasminimu ir buvo pradėtas realizuoti 1803 arba 1804 m. Taip Klementas norėjo įsiamžinti giminės istorijoje ir būti pavyzdys (tiek karjeros, tiek gyvenimo būdo atžvilgiu) savo palikuonims. Poetas puoselėjo tam tikras intelektines aspiracijas, tikėjosi savo kūrybos įvertinimo ir sklaidos. Straipsnyje siekiama pateikti sociokultūrinį Žemaitijos bajoro portretą, atskleisti jo kūrybinių aspiracijų šaltinius. Plačiau yra analizuojamos pragmatinės Klemento rašymo intencijos – „pedagoginiai“ tekstai, skirti vaikų moralinėms nuostatoms ugdyti, ir proginė literatūra, kurios adresatai – autoriui asmeniškai pažįstami žmonės. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Antanas Klementas; Literatūra (XIX amžius); Didaktinė poezija (lietuvių); Antanas Klementas; Lithuanian literature of the nineteenth century; Lithuanian didactic poetryThe paper deals with literary works of Antanas Klementas, which are interpreted on the basis of the facts from his biography. The data of the history of the Klementas family point to the social advancement of Antanas Klementas among his relatives: a representative of the impoverished nobility, he managed to become a member of an elite public service of a district, and later of a county. A hypothesis is suggested that his idea to publish a manuscript as a book of poems might have been be related to his wish to impart meaning to the achieved social status, and he began working on it in 1803 or 1804. In this way Klementas wanted to immortalize himself in the history of his family and to set an example to his offspring in the sense of both his career and his lifestyle. Since the poet cherished certain intellectual aspirations, he expected his works to be appreciated and disseminated. The present paper analyses pragmatic intentions of Klementas’s writing: occasional literature addressed to the people the author knew personally and "didactic" texts aimed at developing the moral attitudes in his children

    Antanas Maceina: the Question of National Identity in Exile National identity is a cornerstone of each nation. It contains culture, language, history and even religion. The main problem of this paper arises from the fact that many scholars have discussed the nation concept, however, not many research papers has been written about the exile case, which is pretty rare in academic literature. Therefore, the question of national identity in exile is fundamental, especially in Lithuanian circumstances. The aim of this paper is to analyse, what is the significance of protecting national identity, according to Antanas Maceina. In order to answer this question several tasks are set: 1) to identify what are the national identity of Antanas Maceina; 2) to find out which aspects form and protect this identity in exile; 3) to define what the importance author is given to national identity maintenance while living in exile. The first chapter of the work reveals academic discussion of the main theoretical sentencions about nation and nationalism. The second Chapter, named "National identity conception and the specificity of exile" highlights originality of Antanas Maceina approach in this debate. Furthermore, the next chapter is divided into four sub-topics, which represent the implement of language, culture, history as well as religion to the national identity. The final chapter is written about the search for the meaning of exile. The results of the research of the study represent that Antanas Maceina agrees with the importance of national identity, culture and language. However, the author also believes in bicultural as well as bilingual human existence in exile

    Reikšminiai žodžiai: Antanas Baranauskas; Vyskupai; Seinai; Antanas Baranauskas; Bishops; SeinaiLithuanian poet and the Bishop of Seinai, Antanas Baranauskas, was a colourful, a distinguished and honoured by the Lithuanian people, although sometimes a controversial, personality. A lot of scientific work has been written about him, his activities and his work have been analyzed in detail. The masterpiece of Lithuanian literature, Anykščių Šilelis, has been published several times, translated into Russian, Polish, Latvian and English. The aim of this article is quite modest. We want to look at the author of Anykščių Šilelis by employing more or less known facts from the life of the Bishop in Seinai, to tell about Baranauskas as regards what his countrymen, the Lithuanians from the Seinai County had expected and waited for from him, to talk about the posture of Antanas Baranauskas regarding cultural identity and growing conflicts over the service of the piety in the Lithuanian and Polish languages. Bishop. A. Baranauskas was favourable to Lithuanian clerks, but wanted to find a common model for the activities of Lithuanian and Polish clerks. He tried to keep up with the policies and tactics that fit his position. Not once did he have to hide from the authorities, but also from his own countrymen. Fearing to be called a Litvoman, he bowed against some of the Poles, looking for their favour, even though this annoyed and revolted the Lithuanians. Antanas Baranauskas is a classic of Lithuanian literature. He contributed to the Lithuanian national revival to a considerable extent
