Biography:
Adolph Kazlauskas was born in 1920, and started painting as a teenager. He studied at the Art Students League in New York City and bought a remote plot of land on a deeply wooded hillside in Berkshire, NY in 1955. There, he built his house and studio completely by hand and without the use of power tools. He and his family lived there without electricity or a telephone until his death in 2005. He was a follower of the Old Lyme School, and would summer at the mouth of the Connecticut River and paint en plein air- in the open air- producing many landscapes, as well as portraits. His memberships included Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, Fine Arts Society of the Southern Tier and Tioga County Council on the Arts.
