Rasute Zukiene has been teaching at the Department of Art History and Criticism of Vytautas Magnus University (Lithuania) since 1991. Her research interests include the works of the Lithuanian symbolist artist and composer Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911), twentieth-century modernist art of Lithuania, and the art by Lithuanian émigrés in Europe and North America. She has published several academic monographs, among them Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis tarp simbolizmo ir modernizmo (Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis between Symbolism and Modernism, 2004) and Akistatos: Dailininkas Vytautas Kazimieras Jonynas pasaulio meno keliuose (Encounters: Artist Vytautas Kazimieras Jonynas on the Roads of World Art, 2007). In her studies of the heritage of V. K. Jonynas over the last several years, Zukiene has been exploring the work of displaced persons--Lithuanian émigré artists--in postwar Germany (1945-50) and the transformations of their work after they moved to other continents.
