“Lithuanian culture has lost an art history expert, an expert, a scholar, a polyglot, a museum specialist, and an excellent exhibition organizer. Everyone you know has lost a warm, sincere, free, playful, and infinitely loving person. The “living encyclopedia” was what his colleagues called it because of its amazing baggage of knowledge. Only he was able to discover the mysterious connections between several hundred works of art and exhibitions, seeing its wide context. Only he was able to organize a professional exhibition and exhibition with a scientific and aesthetic basis for a sometimes very complex collection of works.
There were unfinished items on his desk, books that had just been purchased and donated to the museum, letters that had not been answered, works were being prepared in the depots for a trip to Poland, an exhibition that he had organized but would no longer be published. . Everyone’s compassion reminds me once again how many like-minded people I had. How many “official acquaintances” became close friends?
