Master and Tatyana
Some called him a madman, others, a genius. He kept a live lion in his apartment. He was the first to go beyond the surroundings of Lithuania and document the spontaneous reality of the Soviet Republics. He worked a lot and drank a lot. He lived in Vilnius with his beautiful wife, Tatyana. They were the most vibrant couple of the '60s, and their home was equally vibrant—always full of people, wine, all-night conversations, guests from the furthest corners of the Soviet Union. Vitas Luckus was engulfed by his passion for truth and photography.
