Eight rooms present a concise overview of the Lithuanian tradition of drawing and its transformation over time. The exhibition opens with examples of academic drawing from the art departments of Vilnius University. It then moves through the Vilnius Drawing School and the interwar modernist period, continuing into the late 20th century and the work of contemporary artists. Five thematic sections – “Patience and Impulse”, “Discoveries in Everyday Life”, “Strokes of Personality”, “Contours of Ideas”, and “Undrawn Boundaries” – not only survey the history of drawing, but also reassert its relevance and reveal the full breadth of its possibilities.

The exhibition invites visitors to consider drawing as a universal form of artistic expression and as the outcome of a living creative process.
