Exhibition 'Jovan Kratohvil. Composition 100/24'

The retrospective exhibition of Jovan Kratohvil (1924-1998) is organized on the occasion of the artist's 100th birth anniversary and a significant period after his absence, in order to comprehensively view his rich and diverse artistic legacy for the first time. The exhibition at the National Museum of Serbia opens on Friday, November 15, at 6 p.m. It aims to provide a genuine opportunity for direct encounter, experience, understanding, re-examination, summarization, and possible repositioning of Jovan Kratohvil's artistic legacy. The exhibition 'Jovan Kratohvil - Composition 100/24' unites his most significant works from all creative phases, created between the 1940s and 1980s. Starting from partisan art and socialist realism, moving towards abstract expression within socialist aesthetics and modernism, through explorations in various materials, to pioneering achievements of sculptures made in transparent polyester. Curated by Lidija Ham Milovanovic, the exhibition comprises a total of 100 exhibits, predominantly sculptures, along with Kratohvil's paintings, graphics, and drawings, accompanied by documentary materials on public monuments.
