This album presents a portrait of an original and profound artist who created a vital and meaningful world of art. Although the greater portion of his legacy is made up of the book illustrations that formed the aesthetic sense of several generations, SteponaviÄius also painted, and created engravings and wall paintings. The works of this national laureate received Lithuanian and international awards, and illuminated an entire epoch of Lithuanian graphics. The album comprehensively lays out SteponaviÄius' works, and includes numerous documentary photographs. Published here as well are the artist's own thoughts, comments by art critics, a biography, bibliography, and list of exhibitions and illustrations.
"This is a book, – writes Martynas DÅ«da, – that permits one, perhaps even obliges one, to be nostalgic. [...] Leastways as a life's receptacle, this album surpasses simply the visual form of A. SteponaviÄius' life, and becomes at the same time our form..."
Includes some English translation.
