J. BALTRUŠAIČIO MENOTYROS IDĖJŲ ATSPINDŽIAI POSTMODERNIAME MĄSTYME
Reflections of Baltrušaitis' Ideas of Art History in Postmodern Thinking

Summary/Abstract: In the article the main attention is paid to the reflection and interpretation of Jurgis Baltrušaitis' ideas of art history in the studies of influential postmodern thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Lacan and Jean Francois Lyotard. Therefore, the study analyses different concepts and strategies of investigation that emerged in the works of Baltrušaitis, and then started to circulate and even to become popular in the contemporary discourse of cultural studies. The article focuses on Baltrušaitis' research of anamorphoses, aberrations, studies of historical memory, the phenomenon of temporality, metamorphoses of immanent structures of art, flights of imaginary worlds, spontaneous and chaotic dispersions of artistic forms of different civilisations, pleats (pli, repli) of reality and imagination, and abstract and figurative forms of art.
