Gallery of Fine Arts

Blog entries, Gallery
This galley in Novi Sad houses the Gift Collection of Rajko Mamuzić, another collector who donated his collection to the state. Unlike the Pavel Beljanski Memorial Collection, which mostly represents first half 20th C works, this collection is more focussed on the second half of the 20th C, from 1960s onwards, when a post-war generation [...]

Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection

Blog entries, Gallery
In 1957 Pavle Beljanski, a Serbian diplomat and art collector, donated his collection of works by Yugoslav – mostly Serbian – artists to the government of Vojvodina, the semi-autonomous province in Serbia. The collection is probably the most complete in terms of Serbian paintings of the first half of the 20th C. The museum that [...]

Milan Konjovic Gallery

Blog entries, Gallery
Sombor is also the birthplace of Milan Konjovic, a prolific Serbian painter who lived from 1898 to 1993. Konjovic spent some ten years abroad in the 1920s, to study, but quickly returned to Sombor again, where he lived for most of the rest of his life. Some 500 of the approximately 6000 works he created, [...]

06. the Bozidar Jakac Art Museum

Blog entries, Gallery
The Bozidar Jakac Art Museum is housed in a former monastery, established in the 13th C, extensively rebuilt to its present form in the 18th C, but then dissolved in 1786, church furnishings auctioned off and church desacralized. The building was variously used afterwards, but fell in disrepair, until restoration began again in 1957. Now [...]

‘Die Uberraschung’ in Museum No Hero, The Netherlands

Locations
The small, private museum No Hero, in the town of Delden in the east of The Netherlands, presented an interesting and thought-provoking exhibition from April 2023 to April 2024, of paintings – and some sculptures – from the former DDR. Called ‘Die Uberraschung’ – the Surprise -, it shows some 60 works by East German [...]

the Tartu Art Museum

Blog entries, Gallery
In comparison to the other museums we have visited this trip, the Serlachius in Finland and the KUMU in Tallinn, the Tartu Art Museum is small beer. Established in 1940 at the initiative of the local art school, it has over the years built up an impressive collection, of some 23,000 works, of which – [...]

41. Pecs

Blog entries, Locations
One more Hungarian town, Pecs, with architectural and artist attractions. We have arrived in what is described Hungary’s second-finest town, Pecs. A relatively recent development, because the earlier version suffered under Ottoman occupation and was badly damaged at its liberation. But the recovery, from the 17th century onwards, has turned Pecs into a town with [...]

Museo di Castelvecchio

Blog entries, Gallery
This is the main museum in Verona. The building, Castelvecchio – so called to distinguish it from a newer castle – originates from the 14th Century, but has been heavily restored in the 1960s. It now houses a museum, with 12th C sculptures as well as several 14th C frescoes from the Veronese school, taken [...]

06. the Czech Cubism movement

Blog entries
One of the surprises of this trip is the discovery of the Czech Cubism movement, which is spectacularly on view not only in various Prague museums, but also in some of the architecture. I had never heard about Cubism in the Czech Republic. And what do I know about Cubism, anyhow, other than that a [...]
