Wild Souls - Symbolism in the Art of the Baltic States

Wild Souls: Symbolism in the Art of the Baltic States / ISBN 9789949485871 / 264-page hardcover, bilingual English and Estonian / very light bumps to the boards from international transit An excellent book, worth it (for me) for the Čiurlionis images, but it also introduced me to a bunch of artists from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. *** The book accompanied an exhibition at the Kumu Art Museum, which was first on display at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. The exhibition is part of the programme to celebrate the centennial of the Republic of Estonia. Almost 150 works by notable artists from the art history of the Baltic countries dating from the late 19th century to the 1930s are included in the exhibition. On view are works by Janis Rozentāls, Vilhelms Purvītis, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, Kristjan Raud, Nikolai Triik, Konrad Mägi, Oskar Kallis and many other great names of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian art from the collections of four Baltic museums: the Latvian National Museu
