This book was published on the occasion of the Viktor Paukštelis exhibition VIKTORAS PAUKŠTELIS. CHROMATIKA. PAINTING. 2020-2023 at M.K.Čiurlionis National Museum of Art,  V.Putvinskio st. 55, Kaunas,  15 February-  4 June, 2023.

In his search for an answer to the question of whether traditional genres - not only landscape, but also portraiture, religious, historical, or mythological painting - can still be developed in contemporary painting, Viktoras Paukštelis  (Victor Paukstelis, b. 1983) engages in a dialogue both with art history movements and with individual famous paintings. In his work, Paukstelis appeals to his audience's erudition and intuitively functioning  collective memory.
