1918–1986

Romas Viesulas (Romualdas Veselauskas, 1918–1986) was a Lithuanian printmaker who gained wide international recognition. He received dozens of awards: the Philadelphia Print Club prize in 1957, Guggenheim fellowships in 1958, 1964 and 1969, a Tamarind fellowship in 1960 and a Tiffany fellowship in 1962. He held more than 50 solo exhibitions. He made woodcuts and etchings, particularly favoured lithography with soft, velvety tones, and illustrated books. In 1979 in Rome he created the lithograph cycle 'R-30. Useless Things', marking thirty years of his work. His works are held by the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art and Vilnius University Library.
