Steidl advent calendar 24 "Planet Lithuania"/"Pro Memoria"/"Children"/"Street Life" All four Steidl books by Antanas Sutkus Only 135 Euros instead of 169 Euros 10 sets available Acclaimed photographer Antanas Sutkus was born in Kluoniškiai, a small, rural village in the heart of Lithuania in 1939. He adopted photography as a teenager, earned later a degree in journalism in Vilnius and worked for daily newspapers before co-founding the Lithuanian Photographers’ Association in 1969, which he headed for many years. Sutkus embarked on his photographic journey against the backdrop of a nation rapidly morphing under Moscow’s ever-tightening grip. Like his fellow members of the Lithuanian School of Photography, Sutkus’ practice was rooted in a deep empathy that mirrored and was influenced by the humanist photographers who emerged in Western Europe following the First World War. Sutkus’ art has given a face to the people of Lithuania and their lives; he is the chronicler of their times. This package—including all four books published by Steidl so far—offers a deep insight into Antanas Sutkus’ work. For more information and to order click the link in our bio.
