"(NOT)ACCEPTABLE" (20th century, 5th-8th decade photography)
After the Second World War the second stage of soviet invasion has begun in Lithuania. It affected all the fields of art, and, of course, photography also. The soviet realism was established, which encouraged to show working people, festivals, big construction works, life of collective farming, that where the main themes of socialism. Such official photographies were espoused in all the exhibitions, were the prize winners, also were printed in press as good photography standard.
But Lithuanian photographers also made another kind of photography, which were not acceptable for that time's government. They used Bresson's "critical moment's" method, didn't avoid the salt of life, social themes, undirected scenes. Of course, those photos were not welcome in exhibitions. This line between acceptable and unacceptable photography was not officially marked, but photographers always felt it and were choosing one or another side.
