Museum’s collection

The Museum’s current collection consists of various art works by Janina Monkute Marks including paintings, prints, rugs and tapestries.
Tapestries and rugs
The Janina Monkute Marks Museum-Gallery has a great collection of Janina Marks’ textile works, produced by Janina Marks from1970 to 2001. Weaving was her favorite subject when she attended Freiburg’s Ecole des Arts et Metiers. “My tapestries evolved from my paintings, they are the diary of my life.”

Paintings

The distinct phases of paintings by Janina Marks represent her life experiences and observations. Starting in 1960, her early paintings reflect the drama of World War II and her emigration to the United States. Later Janina turned to a more decorative flat surfaced art, inspired by advertising and popular culture. In the 1970s, she found inspiration from her ancient roots, Lithuanian Folk Art. She created huge colourful canvases depicting folk tales, legends, songs and symbols from old religious woodcarvings. The ever-popular “Rupintojelis”, known as Sorrowing Christ, also found a home within these canvases." (Museums of Lithuania)
