Druskininkai Jacques Lipchitz Sculptures

Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973) was one of the most important Cubist sculptors of the 20th century, and he was born in Druskininkai. The town has honored its famous son with several sculptures displayed in public spaces, creating an unexpected connection between this quiet Lithuanian spa town and the Paris art world. The sculptures represent different periods of Lipchitz's career, from his early Cubist experiments to his later, more expressionistic works. A small exhibition at the town museum provides context about his life and his journey from Druskininkai to the artistic capitals of Europe and America.
