Ciurlionis - Fugue
Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis (September 22 [O.S. September 10] 1875 in Old Vare.na - April 10 [O.S. March 28] 1911 in Pustelnik near Warsaw) was a Lithuanian painter and composer and perhaps the most famous Lithuanian artist of all time. Ciurlionis contributed to symbolism and art nouveau and was representative of the fin de siecle epoch. During his short life he composed about 250 pieces of music and created about 300 paintings The majority of his paintings are housed in the M. K. Ciurlionis National Museum of Art, in Kaunas, Lithuania. His works have had a profound influence on modern Lithuanian culture. The asteroid 2420 Ciurlionis is named after him.
Ciurlionis was the oldest of nine children of his father, Constantine, and his mother, Adele. In 1878 his family moved to Druskininkai, where his father became the town organist. Ciurlionis was a musical prodigy: he could play by ear at age three and could sightread music freely by age seven. Three years out of primary school, he went to study at the musical school of Prince Michal Origiski where he learned to play several orchestral instruments, in particular the flute, from 1889 to 1893. Ciurlionis studied piano and composition at the Warsaw Conservatory from 1894 to 1899. For his graduation, in 1899, he wrote a cantata for mixed chorus and symphonic orchestra titled "De Profundis," with the guidance of the composer Symgund Noskowsky. Later he attended composition lectures at the Leipzig Conservatory 1901 to 1902), and studied drawing at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts from 1904 to 1906.

Ciurlionis - Kings Fairytale
He was one of the initiators of, and a participant in, the First Exhibition of Lithuanian Art that took place in Vilnius in 1907. Soon after this event the Lithuanian Union of Arts was founded, and Ciurlionis was of its nineteen founding members. In 1911 at the age of 35 Ciurlionis died of pneumonia in Pustelnik sanatorium. He was buried in Vilnius' Rasos Cemetery.
Ciurlionis felt that he was a synesthete; that is, he perceived colors and music simultaneously. Many of his paintings bear the names of musical pieces: sonatas, fugues, and preludes.
