This weekend In Vilnius I was attending "Open House Vilnius" event. "Open House Vilnius" is an open architecture weekend held in Vilnius, which has been organized since 2015. This weekend I went to the museum of Kazimieras Žoromskis.
Kazimieras Žoromskis was born in 1913 in Smilgiai, Panevėžys County. He studied art at Vilnius Art Academy, Vienna Art Academy and Royal Art Academy of Rome. He taught oil painting, life drawing, history of modern art. He wrote articles on art history and criticism.
Kazimieras Žoromskis' work has been exhibited in various cities (Madrid, Bogota, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Paris, Washington, D.C., and New York).
The artist Kazimieras Žoromskis has created a grand collection of his colorful original oil paintings. For many years the artist worked in exile in Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Columbia and the U.S., but never did he lost his deep connection with Lithuania. His creations unite the best European art traditions with the newest art forms of New York. He created a distinctive and unique optic impressionist style with the Third-dimensional series for which he earned worldwide recognition. His Op art paintings exhibited in many venues drew art critics’ attention by their particular vibrations of light, precisely modulated tones and harmony of colors, though at first sight, everything seems to be painted with incredible lightness and ease. K. Žoromskis is noted for his subtle and sensitive painting manner, precise and vivid line, emotional restraint and individuality – he remained faithful to these qualities all his life, working in the countries of different cultures.
The world of his paintings is full harmonious musical lines and rhythms spilling out in geometrical dispersions of light.
The beauty of the artist’s soul is revealed in the silence and expanse of his personal experiences.
