Exhibition "Confessions of Yugoslav Modern Art" in a guest appearance in the Cacak Cultural Centre
In the Cacak Cultural Centre tonight, an exhibition of works on paper from the art collection of the Central Military Club titled "Confessions of Yugoslav Modern Art" has opened tonight.The exhibition was opened by Olivera Vukotic, art historian and author of the exhibition, and the audience was addressed by Lieutenant Colonel Zoran Krupez, Deputy Director of Odbrana Media Centre and the chief editor of the Cacak Cultural Centre, Vesna Petrovic.
Lieutenant Colonel Krupez thanked the Cacak Cultural Centre for the hospitality and said that exhibition of paintings "CONFESSIONS OF YUGOSLAV MODERN ART", which was made last year from the rich artistic collection of the Gallery of the Central Military Club (which includes more than 1,500 works of art), has its second presentation outside the Gallery of the Central Military Club exactly before the citizens of Cacak.
- The fine art reflection of time can be traced to a great extent through the whole Art Collection of the Central Military Club, and thus through the works on paper which we are presenting to you tonight. Several hundred works were created in the span of a century – from the first decades of the 20th century to the second decade of the new millennium. Analysed in one place, these exhibits represent a kind of panorama of artistic events in the century behind us.Olivera Vukotic, the author of the exhibition, said that it was not an easy job to make a shortlist of the exhibits from the rich Collection of the Central Military Club.
- This is for the first time that the Gallery exhibits part of the Collection relating to works on paper. The basic principle according to which the works were selected and exposed is the participation of the author in the life and work of the institutions of the Central Military Club through solo and group exhibitions and art colonies. These papers provide possible insight into trends of art of past times and are specific because of the immediacy of existence of the impression. I hope you will enjoy the exhibition as I enjoyed the selection of works on paper, the author said.
Editor in Chief of the Cacak Cultural Centre, Vesna Petrovic, said that it is a great honour to host such an eminent institution as the Gallery of the Central Military Club is, which has been positioned high on the cultural map, not only of Belgrade, but of the whole of Serbia.
- Before the citizens of Cacak, there is a selection of drawings, as a great gift to the audience and fine art connoisseurs that will recall the author temporarily and unjustly, because of their quality, which disappeared from our sight.
The fine arts audience will be able to see the works on paper by the most significant Yugoslav and Serbian painters such as: Sava Sumanovic, Pedja Milosavljevic, Milo Milunovic, Stojan Celic, Ljuba Ivanovic and so on, until 31 October 2016.
