Stasys Jusionis

1927–2022

Stasys Jusionis (1927–2022) was a Lithuanian painter. Born in Radviliškis, he studied at the Kaunas Institute of Applied and Decorative Art in 1947–1950 and graduated from the Lithuanian Art Institute in 1953. From 1953 to 1989 he worked at the editorial office of the magazine Genys, later as its editor-in-chief. In his landscapes he interpreted Lithuanian scenery and the changing seasons and used ethnographic motifs; he also painted thematic compositions and portraits. His painting is marked by expressiveness, generalised drawing, vivid colour contrasts and energetic impasto brushwork. In 1981 he received the Lithuanian SSR State Prize. His works are held by the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art and the MO Museum.
