PRESENTATION OUTLINE
MIKALOJUS KONSTANTINAS ČIURLIONIS
Čiurlionis was a painter and composer who lived in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Čiurlionis painted with tempera on paper.
Čiurlionis' style was neo-romantic. It was a group of movements in areas like philosophy, literature, music, painting, and architecture. Painters who used neo-romantic styles often rejected or opposed realism and naturalism.
Čiurlionis' paintings often showed surreal landscapes.
I like how Čiurloinis was able to make the surreal feel real by bringing you into the painting in a way that could convince you that this was what the world actually looks like.
