- Abstract
The article focuses on the scarcely studied esoteric aspects and development of theosophical ideas in Kazimieras Stabrauskas' (Stabrowski's) creative work as well as in the Warsaw Fine Arts School led by him. It analyses: the esoteric and aesthetic factors that had an impact on the painter's peculiar artistic style, his contacts with various trends in Russian, French and Polish painting, his accession to the Lithuanian movement for national awakening of fine arts, and his influence on Čiurlionis' creative work. The article provides a multidimensional discussion of the early and mature stages in development of Stabrauskas' artistic style, the impact of theosophical ideas and occult practices on the principles of his artistic creativity. Based on the comparative analysis of different stages in Stabrauskas' creative evolution, the author shows that the painter's search in the field of esoterics left clear traces in the development of his artistic style and symbolic interpretation of landscapes, historical motives and the image of a woman. It also helped him to originally treat the objects he painted and to stimulated him to take a deeper interest in the cultural history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Lithuanian folklore and mythology.
