Antanas Sutkus

Born in 1939 Antanus Sutkus started his photographic career as a photojournalist. Since 1969 he has been working as an independent photographer based in Vilnius, Lithunania.  Sutkus’s primary focus is man; one of the most important series of his artworks is called ‘People of Lithuania’, a continuing project begun in 1976. His aim, he has written, is ‘to make an attempt at drawing a psychological portrait of contemporary man….because future generations will judge our way of life, our culture and our inner world on the basis of photographs’.
