The artists that held exhibitions at he Grand Gallery of the Central Military Club gifted their works to this institution, owing to which this collection was formed, along with the works that were purchased or gained through exchange.
With the analysis of the significant works in this exhibition created during the 20th century, including the period after WWII, we can perceive the development of fine arts in the territory of former Yugoslavia, as Sava Stepanov told the guests at the opening of the exhibition.
The exhibition “Poetics and fate of the 20th century”, which represents the greatest national treasure, will be opened at the Gallery of Laza Kostic Cultural Center in Sombor until 14th May 2015.
