The setting made by art historian Nikola Kusovac and former manager of the Gallery of the Central Military Club Milorad Bubanja, is composed of 46 paintings by 42 artists from the former Yugoslav areas like Vlah Bukovac, Jovan Bijelic, Ljubo Babic, Lazar Vujaklija, Ljuba Ivanovic, Petar Lubarda, Pedja Milosavljevic, Miodrag B. Protic, Sreten Stojanovic, Marina Tartalja, Aleksandar Tomasevic, Kosta Hakman, Krsto Hegedušić Marko Celebonovic, Sava Šumanovic and others.
The exhibition is part of the offer of Odbrana Media Centre in cooperation and exchange of programmes with museums, galleries, bequests, endowments and other cultural institutions in Serbia. Until now it was presented in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, Zrenjanin, Jagodina and attracted much public attention. After Vrsac, the exhibition will be presented at the Lazarevac Cultural Centre.
Collection of the Serbian Armed Forces was formed mainly from gifts of artists who have exhibited for decades in the Gallery of Central Military Club, and partly by the purchase of the works of art. It includes significant achievements made in the 20th century, including the period immediately after the Second World War, whose analysis can show the development of fine arts in the area of former Yugoslavia.
