Mounds is one of the pictures from the cycle Audra (Storm). In it, the painter symbolically expresses the destiny of the Homeland, the blows it has suffered and the challenges awaiting it. In this picture, K. Stabrowski uses the motifs of mounds piled up over the bones of ancestors, stumps and trees tossed by the wind, stormy clouds with the lightning, thus creating a laconic, but strongly emotionally charged composition. The whole cycle Audra (nine pictures) was displayed in 1910 in an exhibition of K. Stabrowski’s works in Warsaw. Four pictures of the cycle were exhibited in 1908 in the Second Exhibition of Lithuanian Art in Vilnius. Text author Dalia Tarandaitė.
