The Minimalism of Švėgžda’s Orientalist Aesthetics and Its Relations to the Poetics of Kajokas and Miliauskaitė

Summary/Abstract: This article discuses the oriental meditative motives in the late artistic works of Algimantas Švėgžda (1941–1996), who was influenced by Far East aesthetics and especially by the principle of wuwei. The meditative works of the artist are analyzed on the background of Taoist, Chan, and Zen aesthetics. While inquiring into the sources of artistic inspiration, the attention is mostly concentrated on the principle of wuwei, on its many-sidedness and functioning during the creative process.
