A comprehensive overview of the development of visual arts in Osijek over more than a century. Švajcer documents the city's artistic life, providing insight into the works of artists and cultural institutions that shaped Osijek's art scene.
Through these "miniatures", the author brings the reader closer to the world of different traditions, emphasizing the beauty, mysticism, and complexity of Islamic culture, but also universal themes such as transience, identity, and the meaning of life.
The book presents Švajcer's entire bibliography and a selection of his published and unpublished texts (e.g. texts on Krunoslav Kern; Branko Kovačević; Osijek painting between the two wars; Antun Babić as a graphic artist, etc.).
The monograph also provides a biographical framework, an analysis of thematic cycles, an interpretation of the artist's dominant motifs, and numerous reproductions of paintings.
The Croatian scientist, art pedagogue and writer seeks to clarify the rules of the grammar of artificial attractions to the reader by specifically grouping his fascinating insights and examining them from an often unexpected angle.
