Opening of the exhibition "Milos Babic, Balance of Signs"
In the Gallery of the Central Military Club, on 20 March 2014 at 19:00 hours, exhibition "MILOS BABIC, Balance of Signs" organised by"Odbrana" Media Center in collaboration with the Museum of the City of Subotica will be opened.
Numerous works of Milos Babic (1904-1968), painter and graphic designer, made for film companies and advertising agencies, used to adorn newspapers and gables of many buildings. Babic's works of applied art are considered valuable achievements of the interwar Belgrade graphic design. Stylistic propinquity, similarity of the composition and motives of the paintings, marked his designer oeuvre and cycle of creation between the two wars.
The "Milos Babic, Balance of Signs" is based on a series of oil paintings that reflect a constructivist- futuristic spirit of modernism of the thirties of the 20th century, works stimulated by the course of figurative drawing by Petar Dobrovic, which the author attended from 1934 to 1940 and landscapes and portraits based on tradition of pointillism – growing over the time into the phase of playful circles.
At the opening of the exhibition, the speakers will be Ljubica Vukovic Dulic, art historian and curator of the Museum of the City of Subotica, Bojana Popovic, an art historian and museum consultant of the Museum of Applied Arts in Belgrade and Lieutenant Colonel Slavoljub Markovic, Director of Odbrana MC.
