Summary/Abstract: The review examines the book "Ekspresionizmo raitele Mariana Veriovkina" by Lithuanian art historian Laima Laučkaite (Vilnius, 2007), dealing with the noted expressionist painter Marianne Werefkin, known as a member of the German artists' group "Der Blaue Reiter". Although Lithuania has been only one geographical stop in this artist's career (she was born in Tula, Russia, and died in Ascon, Switzerland), significant epistolary material was recently recovered there, integrated in a fact-based and innovative survey of the artist's life.
