Vlaho Bukovac
Igor Zidić's short and accessible monograph on Vlaho Bukovac provides a concise, yet extremely meaningful insight into the life and creative work of one of the most important Croatian painters.
As a key figure of Croatian modernism, Vlaho Bukovac (1855–1922) marked the art scene of the transition from the 19th to the 20th century, and this publication brings his artistic development and European reach closer in an accessible way.
On 112 pages of a richly equipped edition, the author takes us through Bukovac's most important creative phases — from the Parisian academic tradition and success at the prestigious Paris Salons, through the Zagreb period and his role as the initiator of modern Croatian painting, all the way to his later works in which he skillfully flirts with impressionism and light effects. The book is equipped with numerous reproductions of the artist's most famous works, portraits and landscapes.
This edition is an excellent choice for all art lovers, collectors and readers who want to quickly, but professionally and stylistically familiarize themselves with the monumental oeuvre of Vlaho Bukovac through the pen of a top expert in national heritage.
