\"\"<\/a>The self-portrait is a distinct art genre that came into its own in the 15th century, with the advent of the Italian Renaissance, symbolising the emerging notion of the artist as an individual independent from their guild. The leap from a rule-bound artisan to a member of the societal elite and the dizzying creative freedom that followed formed the foundation of the artist\u2019s legend. Even today, this legend continues to inspire artists enticing them with the power of rebellion, change and influence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition starts with classic examples of the genre, where artists depict themselves as representatives of this unique profession. However, these works also hold additional layers of meaning. For instance, Vytautas Kasiulis declares self-sacrifice, while Marija Cvirkien\u0117 (following the death of Petras Cvirka) expresses a reclaimed sense of self-worth. Meanwhile, Algimantas \u0160v\u0117g\u017eda, emphasises the importance of studying nature.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the advent of photography and the diversification of artistic practices, the concept of the self-portrait has undergone significant evolution, itself becoming an object of interpretation. Works are considered to be self-portraits or adjacent to this genre when the artist\u2019s identity plays a significant role in their semantic structure. This identity is constructed through repetition, otherwise it would not be recognisable. As a result, the self-portrait often emerges not merely as an expression of individuality, but rather as a role being rehearsed and experimented with. We would like to invite you to see the diverse expressions of artist identity in Lithuanian art, ranging from the dignified pose of Franciszek Smuglewicz to the contemporary interpretations by present-day artists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
