Exhibition “My Belgrade” opened
The exhibition “My Belgrade” was opened today in the Small Gallery of the Central Military Club of the Serbian Armed Forces. It is a kind of a story about the parts of the Serbian capital, which disappear or start to appear and about the city, which lives with and in us, painted on 22 canvases of the academic painter Miodrag Prodanovic.
Opening the exhibition, the art historian Nikola Kusovac talked about the complex relationship of the author and Belgrade because Miodrag Prodanovic is the former director of the Great Hall of Dom sindikata and the mayor of Stari grad municipality.
“Formed in the painting sense during 1960s, in the time when the forms of abstraction influenced by exclusiveness prevailed in Yugoslav fine arts, Prodanovic, discussing the actualities, usually fashionable ones, remained dedicated to classical conception and means of expression”, Kusovac stressed, adding that the insight into the whole of the artwork of the author witnesses that it is a representative of some kind of poetic realism of nostalgic direction.
Talking about the significance of the exhibition, Lieutenant Colonel Biljana Plavsic from the Media Centre “Odbrana” emphasized that the oil paintings, which have been painted in recent years, represent a unique urban landscape of the old city, which we know and love, and in whose centre is the Central Military Club of the Serbian Armed Forces.
With the remark that his canvases speak more than words, the author of the exhibition expressed special gratitude to the representatives of the Central Military Club of the Serbian Armed Forces for the cooperation so far.
The exhibition “My Belgrade” will be open for all visitors by 19th April 2017.
