- Abstract
The subject of a city emboded itself in the Lithuanian lyrics during the formation of modern trends. Until now dominates the understanding of a city, fixated by expressionism. The city is an alien environment for the man -- it standardizes him and warps his soul. The creation of J. Vaičiūnaitė occupies a special place. The aim of the article is to reveal of how the semantic space, allowing to humanize city culture, is being created. The most important theoretical positions, guiding the article -- L. Mumford's, J. Lotman's, M. Eliade's studies of city culture. The idea, that the image of Vilnius formed itself during several decades, changing and obtaining new shapes, is developed in the article. The main direction of formation of artistic space is the flood of historic and cultural contexts. The most important aspects of depicting Vilnius are discussed in the article: mythologic, historic and cultural reminiscences, the semantics of architectural spaces, the relation between nature and culture, and the conclusion is drawn, that their harmony creates the semantic universum, spiritualizing city culture.
