#VilniusSculptures Continuation of Part I
7) Zemaite (Lithuanian writer Žemaitė)
The sculpture was created by Petras Aleksandravicius in soviet times. The sculpturer was was awarded Stalin award in 1950, Tretyakov gallery even bought Zemaite and it was the first sculpture from the Baltic states bought by the gallery. Such evaluation meant for the sculpturer a lot, since the authorieties controlled whar artist were creating and if they were creating on unacceptable themes, their lives could be desroyed.

You should not forget that Zemaite is of Vilnius Talking Scultures.
