{"product_id":"antanas-sutkus-planet-lithuania","title":"Antanas Sutkus: planet lithuania","description":"This book is a rich overview of Antanas Sutkus' photos of the people  of his native Lithuania during its occupation by the Soviet Union.  Sutkus is above all a humanist photographer, his \"kosmos\" his fellow  citizens-children, lovers, the elderly; how they engage with modernity  and tradition, nature and the city, and express their identities-all  captured in a frank, empathetic style that is far removed from  soviet ideals and forms the foundation of the Lithuanian school of  photo  graphy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By revealing individual lives of dignity and integrity behind the Iron  Curtain, Sutkus' work is as political as it is personal, a record of  Lithuania's assertion of its cultural self against the Soviet Union which  occupied the country from the Second World War until 1990. That  struggle has since come to fruition: in 2004 Lithuania became a  member of both NATO and the European Union, and is today one of  Europe's fasting growing economies.","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665560244260,"sku":"9783958295124","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783958295124.jpg?v=1778097928","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/antanas-sutkus-planet-lithuania","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
