The Samogitian Museum Alka presents its first album-catalogue of the photographs of Chaimas Kaplanskis, the famous photographer of Telšiai (about 1860-1935), and his family. It highlits the rich and impresive photographic heritage that was housed within a single photo studio. This album is the result of several years’ work with glass negatives by Telšiai photographers of the post-war period.
This book illustrates the oeuvre of the unique artist Gintautas Gavenavičius (1960–2004), who was until his untimely death, according to Valentinas Antanavičius, probably the only artist in the world to have created original sculptures from unbroken flax for two decades.
