"...Krajem pedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, umjetnik Josip Zanetti povlači sivu horizontalnu liniju preko praznog, manje intenzivnog sivog platna, što ujedno predstavlja početak izuzetno discipliniranih i analitičko-primarnih postupaka u hrvatskoj umjetnosti, koji će trajati do današnjih dana ...."

Sama sebi kao ljubitelj nikada nisam mogla pravim riječima objasniti reakciju na osobni doživljaj umjetnosti. Jednom mi prilikom međutim glavni akter jednog filma kratko ponudi odgovor na pitanje, zašto zapravo volimo umjetnost. "Umjetnost nas zapravo podsjeća na činjenicu, kako smo samo kratkotrajno na ovom svijetu." - kada bolje razmislim - sve lijepo je prolazno - a i to je već davno prije izrečeno ...

Duško Rakita

This artist does not work in stone but an equally iconic material indigenous to the Croatian island Brač – olive wood. This Bosnian sculptor worked in clay until he came to the island, having left his home which was rent by war. He fell in love with this demanding yet sensuous material and is a prodigious creator of beautiful feminine and abstract shapes.

Ivan Kožarić. Freiheit ist ein seltener Vogel

Ivan Kožarić. Freedom Is a Rare Bird

Ivan Kožarić (born 1921, lives and works in Zagreb) is among the most significant contemporary artists of Croatia. In the late 1940s he became one of the central artistic figures in the post-war avant-garde movement of the former Yugoslavia. Though a renowned and influential figure in Croatia, this survey exhibition, covering more than fifty years of his complex oeuvre represents the first in depth international examination of his artistic practice outside Croatia.

Exhibition 21.06 – 22.09.13, Haus der Kunst, Munich, Germany

As a member of the avant-garde group Gorgona (1959 to 1966) whose "anti-art" placed attitude above form, Kožarić retained both his sense for simplicity and his swift, recognizable attitude. In his works, Kožarić addresses the boundaries of traditional art forms in various ways – such as working with the same topic in sculpture, drawing, and photography or by applying the same title to both a stand-alone piece and a series of works. Kožarić, who found recognition abroad early in his career, influenced both his own and the younger generation of artists.
