A Hidden Ideological Narrative in Soviet Art. Based on the Manuscripts of the Artist Vincas Kisarauskas

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the manuscripts / typescripts of the artist Vincas Kisarauskas (1934-1988) that vary from texts and memoirs about the works of colleagues and discusses also scientific material collected for Kisarauskas' monograph on the art of ex-libris. In this case, we are interested in Kisarauskas` texts dedicated to the analysis of colleagues' works in which the ideological background of the time is evident. It is not directly mentioned nor alluded to, but the latent ideological narrative of the Soviet era can be felt from the way certain things and aspects are circumvented, silently or (un)deliberately presented as "non-ideological". The mechanisms of ideological masking were not necessarily conscious. It was rather a response to outright ideological pressure. It manifested itself as the form of "aesthetic escapism."
