Vytautas Kasiulis

He was one of the most famous Lithuanian artists who became exiled in Paris after the annexation of their country by the Soviet Union.

In the beginning of 1942, in Kaunas, Kasiulis participated in several group expositions and had a solo exhibition at the Vytautas Magnus Museum of Culture in 1943.

Starting in 1954, he also showed his work outside France, notably in Berlin, Copenhagen, Geneva, Stockholm, Cleveland, New York, and Toronto.

Bronė Kasiulienė offered them the collection at the time if they would create a Vytautas Kasiulis Museum.

In May and June 2010, works by five artists of Lithuanian origin exiled in Paris – Arbit Blatas, Vytautas Kasiulis, Antanas Moncys, Pranas Gailius and Žibuntas Mikšys – were presented to the Žilinskas Art Gallery in Kaunas.
