Geocache Description:


EN: Kazys Varnelis (February 25, 1917 in Alsėdžiai – October 29, 2010 in Vilnius) was an abstract painter from Lithuania. He lived and worked in the United States of America for fifty years, between 1949 and 1998. His distinctive painting style demonstrated optical and three-dimensional illusions based on geometric abstractions and minimal forms. His style combined elements of constructivism, minimalism, and op art. His work is sometimes described as a modernist interpretation of Lithuanian folk art and is owned by Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, Currier Museum of Art, and other museums. Varnelis was also an avid collector of antiques and bibliophile – his collection is now housed at the Kazys Varnelis House–Museum in Vilnius. (Source: Wikipedia) 

 

The cache is hidden near the building Savanorių pr. 42 where you can see the mural on the building wall based on his work.

 

FI: Kazys Varnelis (25. helmikuuta 1917 Alsėdžiai - 29. lokakuuta 2010 Vilna) oli liettualainen taidemaalari. Hän asui ja työskenteli Yhdysvalloissa viidenkymmenen vuoden ajan vuosina 1949–1998. Hänen erottuva tyylinsä oli geometrisiin abstraktioihin ja minimaalisiin muotoihin perustuvia optisia ja kolmiulotteisia illuusioita. Hänen tyylinsä yhdisteli elementtejä konstruktivismi, minimalismi ja op art. Hänen työnsä kuvataan joskus modernistiseksi tulkinnaksi Liettuan kansanmusiikista. Hänen töitään omistaa Salomon R.Guggenheim -museo, Chicagon taideinstituutti, Currierin taidemuseo ja useat muut museot. Varnelis oli myös innokas antiikkiesineiden keräilijä ja  bibliofiili - hänen kokoelmansa on nyt Kazys Varnelis House -museossa Vilnassa. (Lähde: Wikipedia) 

 

Kätkö on piilotettu lähelle Savanorių pr. 42 rakennusta, jonka seinään on maalattu taiteilijan työhön perustuva muraali.
