Populations who arrived on the Baltic coast long before our era formed Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. These three independent states have willingly grouped themselves under the name of Baltic States because they are geographically contiguous and politically brought together by a community of interests in the face of the vagaries of history. We have known them since they were liberated from their last colonizers. During the 19th century, Baltic artists and writers claimed and ultimately imposed their own cultural heritages distinct from those of their invaders. From the Symbolist era, precursors such as Ciurlionis, Mägi, and Purvitis demonstrated exceptional originality. The interwar period, when these sister countries regained their full autonomy, was a rich period of openness and exchanges, during which we will discover the pictorial dexterity of Aleksandra Belcova, the subtle geometries of Akberg, and the photographic experiments of Domicele Tarabildiene. Stimulated by recent anthological exhibitions, our curiosity and information will find here a complete and abundantly illustrated history of modern art from the Baltic States.
