Using the concepts of indigenism and primitivism, which are still rarely used in Lithuanian art history, the article reinterprets the works of Jonas Rim\u0161a (1903\u20131978), a Lithuanian artist who worked in Argentina and Bolivia, in a new postcolonial way and reveals the subversive nature of his art creation. It highlights that during his time in Bolivia, Rim\u0161a was actively involved in establishing indigenism as a national style that served the political purposes of building the identity and uniting a nation. At the same time, creation by Rim\u0161a is shown to be a practice of romanticising and mythologising indigenous people, denying their subjectivity and cultural, social and political significance in the life of the state. Unlike other indigenous artists from Bolivia and South America, in general, the artist\u2019s choice is not due to an exotic view of Indians but rather to the specific experience of living in Eastern Europe, anti-communist attitudes and a desire to distance himself from Mexican muralists. In this context, the artistic legacy of Rim\u0161a is conceptualised as an uncomfortable heritage that encodes the tensions between the \u2018own and the \u2018foreign\u2019 glimpse, between nationalism and colonialism and between representation and appropriation.<\/p>\n
