Vytautas Povilaitis

1927–2009

Vytautas Povilaitis (1927–2009) was a Lithuanian painter and an artist of frescoes, panels, stained glass and mosaics. In 1944–1950 he studied in the decorative painting studio of the Kaunas State Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts. He exhibited from 1954 and joined the Lithuanian Artists’ Association in 1957. He painted landscapes, thematic compositions, portraits and views of Lithuanian towns. In 1959, together with Vladas Jankauskas, he created murals for the Neringa café in Vilnius. From the 1960s he made decorative abstractions, and in his later work a distinctive manner based on generalised motifs emerged. His works are held by the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, the M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art and the MO Museum.
