You will understand the artist better if you see how crazy he was in his youth, what difficult decisions he had to make, what he loved and what he aspired to.

Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875–1911) remained loyal to his friends throughout his life (even when they were wrong!) and defended the weaker (even if he could have died for it). His contemporaries tell about this in their memoirs. This is also revealed in Čiurlionis' own letters. This comic about the most famous Lithuanian artist, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, and his best friend, the Polish composer Eugeniusz Morawski-Dąbrowa (1876–1948), grew out of such testimonies.
