Justinas Marcinkevičius, LAUKINĖ KRIAUŠĖ, 1973
Colours and textures are in complete harmony here, embodying a childlike idealism and playfulness. These striking illustrations are easy to understand for children and therefore capture their attention.
In 1954 she graduated from Lithuanian Art Institute’s Graphic Arts Faculty as a book illustrator and designer. After her studies, she was an active creator, working on book illustrations and industrial graphic art. During her most productive years, the artist illustrated a large number of kids’ books by Lithuanian writers, including “Senelio pasaka” [Grandpa’s Tale] by Kostas Kubilinskas, “Greitoji pagalba” [Ambulance] by Justinas Marcinkevičius, “Saulės zuikučiai“ [Sunny Bunnies] by Vilius Laužikas. She received many awards for her work, one of which was for illustrating Kostas Kubilinskas’ “Vai tu, Martynai” [Oh You, Martynas].
