Albina Makunaite

Lithuanian graphic artist, Albina Makunaite was one of the first graduates of the postwar higher art school, who nurtured a distinct expression of Soviet and Lithuanian graphic art - engraving on wood and linoleum. This generation of artists, quietly and persistently, breaking the stereotypes of Soviet art, started a new chapter in Soviet and Lithuanian art. Makunaite also successfully distinguished herself by illustrating classic works of literature. The treasury of Lithuanian ethnic culture, which compellingly affects the national consciousness, served as a source of inspiration for the artist.
