ENPaper examines the research problem – in the realities of the 20th century down full of existing contradictions of theoretical-praxeological nature how one could understand Čiurlionis'personal cognitive assessment of Lithuanian national movement. It is an opportunity to answer at least partially to the question: How at this time of a new cultural, social paradigms and realities and in face of a new stylistics of art M. K. Čiurlionis conceived and evaluated the attitudes shared of the society towards the changes of national values. An object of the research - the historical realities that surrounded M. K. Čiurlionis on the first decade of the twentieth century and the expression of the artist's values. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of changes of M. K. Čiurlionis values system in a discourse of artistic expression. To achieve the goal we tried by using a systematic literature, documents and M. K. Čiurlionis letters applying techniques of critical analysis and synthesis. A new 20th century had been conceived by the intellectuals as the end of one historical cycle of European civilization and the beginning of a new epoch full of hopes and desires. "It seems that only in painting Čiurlionis could express his patriotic feelings, while in music he most likely would have remained tied with the Western compositional principles. Only in painting he could expect to reach the rural people who were far away from the intellectualism, being at the same time the synonyms of the Lithuanian patriots "– wrote the Andrea Botto. He notes that the 1903-1904 years were closelly related to the symbolism inherent in the period. Let us try to understand the values thinking aspirations, surrounding M. K. Čiurlionis and the discourses of artistic expression having an impact to his life.The visible art in Warsaw was dominated by landscapes inherited from romanticism. M. K. Čiurlionis read a lot (Dostoyevsky, Poe.Tagore and Mickiewicz, Wilde, Nietzsche, Ruskin, Flammarion, Kant-Laplace, etc), was interested in astronomy, geology, psychology, ancient Egyptian religions, Hindu Vedas. While studying in Leipzig Čiurlionis attended course of Wilhelm Wundt experimental psychology. The critics of Čiurlionis art argues that there is no one of his works, which could be described as a completely abstract, though the style sometimes is very close to it. However, his subconscious mind and creative spirit used to find a place to the angels, birds, kings, for other creatures. However, not to human. Such a sacred symbolism of rainbows and stars led a paths to the sublime and the unknown spaces. However, Čiurlionis is very Lithuanian. He strongly expressed the true Lithuanian spirit, its folk art, landscape, fighting for the liberation of the homeland, its people's distinctive religious feelings, which still felt pantheistic tendencies "(Botto). Speaking Polish at home, among friends and in the Druskininkai community, M. K. Čiurlionis never hesitated, he knew he was Lithuanian. His national selfconscesness was supported by the work at "Ruth" Society choir in Vilnius, and by Sofija Kymantaitė, his wife, who helped him to maintain Lithuanian national mentality. In 1906 in letter to brother Povilas Čiurlionis asking: what do you know about the Lithuanian movement? (Čiurlionis, 1960, p. 188-193) Western European urban culture trends, the values of romanticism and symbolism, could not overshadow the principles and great national ideas of M. K. Čiurlionis. He was convinced in its significance in the new time of cultural, social paradigms and realities, especially in assessing its significance when a Great Seimas of Vilnius published findings, the actual impact on the further movement of the Lithuanian national and cultural development.
