LTStraipsnyje nagrinėjami sovietmečiu Druskininkuose ir Valkininkuose (Varėnos r.) pastatytų sanatorijų interjerai. Pradedant septintu dešimtmečiu, Lietuvos architektūroje pastebimas akivaizdus poslinkis modernizmo idėjų aktualizavimo ir praktinio taikymo linkme. Dailės gyvenimui šis laikotarpis taip pat labai svarbus: pasižymi kontroversiškumu ir gana aiškia takoskyra tarp oficialaus ir neoficialaus meno. Septintame dešimtmetyje prasidėjusius dailės modernėjimo reiškinius rodė ir visuomeninių pastatų interjerų dekoravimas. Nagrinėjant Druskininkų ir Valkininkų sanatorijų interjerų monumentaliosios dailės kūrinius, aptariamas kūrybinės laisvės diskursas, t. y. ar menininkai buvo pakankamai laisvi, rinkdamiesi siužete ir išraiškos priemones, ar turėjo tenkintis dekoratorių profesionalų statusu. Trumpai aptariama dabartinė fizinė reikšmingesnių monumentaliosios dailės kūrinių sanatorijų interjeruose būklė ir apsaugos problemos. [Iš leidinio]
ENDecorating the building interiors with works of monumental and applied art is a characteristic trait of sanatoriums built during the Soviet era. Indeed, works by famous contemporary artists often became the centerpieces of the interior of recreational buildings. Starting with the 1970s, there was a notable shift towards actualization and practical implementation of modernist ideas. This period is also of particular importance in the broader domain of fine arts. The process of modernisation of fine arts that started in the 1970s is reflected not only in small-scale pieces, but also in monumental artworks commissioned for public spaces. The analysis of the content and form of interior artworks in the Sanatoriums of Druskininkai and Valkininkai suggests that the artists working under commission were relatively free to choose their subjects and means of expression for these projects. Stained glass and mural painting were the most popular techniques, but wood or clay relief panels, as well as glass decorations, were also used to create the feeling of comfort and originality.Following the restoration of Lithuania's independence, the majority of the sanatoriums - previously state-owned - were privatized. In many cases, their new owners did not regard the Soviet interior decorations as worthy of preserving - subsequently, few sanatoriums have maintained their original appearance, and the interior artworks, which used to be an integral part of them, are presently in an alarming state. The deteriorating works of monumental art from the Soviet period form an important part of Lithuania's heritage of fine art, and the question of their protection remains urgent, as it has failed to attract proper attention from government authorities so far.
