The grand finale of the European Capital of Culture<\/a> is the last programme arch Other? Europe<\/a>, which begins with the opening of a large exhibition in the Gallery of Matica Srpska<\/strong>: Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 for Everyone<\/a><\/strong>. For the first time in Novi Sad, the audience will have the opportunity to see more than 100 works and discover the third dimension of the art of one of the greatest Serbian and European realist painters, in an exhibition that will be implemented in a slightly different way.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, which opens tonight and will last until 31 January of next year, was created according to the highest museum standards, and its additional value is that it will be accessible to visitors of all ages, as well as the blind, deaf, and people with physical or intellectual disabilities<\/strong>. As such, it is an example and an incentive to continue creating programmes in the future that would be completely accessible to all visitors. The focus will not only be on the works that are part of the GMS collection, but the audience will also find works of art from the National Museum of Serbia, the National Museum of Zrenjanin, Matica Srpska, the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Museum of the City of Belgrade, the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Zagreb National Museum of Modern Art… as well as the paintings from private collections, most of which have not been exhibited until now.<\/p>\n

In order to bring \u2018first-hand\u2019 information to the readers about the exhibition, but also about Predi\u0107, as one of the greatest Serbian painters, and the importance of holding the exhibition in the European Capital of Culture title year, we spoke with the author of the exhibition Sne\u017eana Mi\u0161i\u0107, PhD<\/strong>. She told Visit Novi Sad that the Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107. A Life Dedicated to Beauty and Art<\/a> exhibition in the Gallery of Matica Srpska presents the art work of one of the greatest national painters, who, creating continuously for more than eight decades, left an extremely rich artistic opus, in which he achieved great achievements.<\/p>\n

\u2018Through the selection of the most representative works, as well as those less known to the public, it is possible to view the artistic opus of Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107, while documentary material (letters, photographs, personal items, etc.) illustrates his life and creative path. In several units \u2012 anecdotal and social genres, religious painting, portraits, topics from national history, connections with Matica Srpska, Predi\u0107’s thematic orientations are presented\u2019 \u2012 explained our interlocutor, adding that by implementing an exhibition of Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107’s<\/strong> works, we wish to once again show the value of Serbian art in the European Capital of Culture title year.<\/p>\n

The Great of National Painting<\/h2>\n

Predi\u0107 is one of the favourite painters in Serbia, who regularly attracts many visitors to museums and galleries. He is one of the painters who had a prominent role in the artistic, social and cultural life of the Serbian nation at the end of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th century, an artist who still enjoys great respect both among professionals and the general public. The duration, consistency and persistence of artistic beliefs, great artistic talent and dedication to work are, as Sne\u017eana Mi\u0161i\u0107, PhD<\/strong>, says, the values with which Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 earned the status of a great national painter. \u2018Predi\u0107’s work, to the greatest extent kept within academic frameworks and recognizable artistic poetics, survived, resisting the contemporary aspirations of painting, all modern expressions and trends in art, representing \u2012 we can now freely say \u2012 timeless value.\u2019<\/p>\n

Predi\u0107’s Works Exhibited 25 Years Ago<\/h2>\n

The last retrospective exhibition in Novi Sad was held 25 years ago, when the Gallery of Matica Srpska celebrated the 150th anniversary of its existence, and it aroused great public interest at the time. Given that this year the Gallery of Matica Srpska celebrates its 175th anniversary, the exhibition of Predi\u0107’s work begins the programme to mark this great jubilee, since the Gallery of Matica Srpska continues to home the work of the painter. \u2018We decided to present the life and work of one of the greatest national painters, his place in Serbian art and culture, as well as his exceptional contribution to Matica Srpska and its Museum \u2012 today’s Gallery,\u2019 Mi\u0161i\u0107 explained.<\/p>\n

Educational Programme of the Exhibition<\/h2>\n

Along with the exhibition, a large number of accompanying programmes are announced, such as programmes for the blind and visually impaired visitors, deaf and hard of hearing visitors, people with intellectual disabilities, and programmes for children and the elderly.<\/p>\n

\u2018In accordance with the institutional commitment developed over the past quarter of a century that we are a museum open to everyone, we prepared a rich accompanying programme. In addition to daily curatorial guidance through the exhibition and expert lectures, an integral part of the exhibition is the programme Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 for Everyone<\/strong>, which is adapted to different ages, as well as to people with different categories of disabilities. In addition to tactile models of paintings and audio guidance, expert interpretations and curatorial guidance will be provided through the exhibition in sign language and inclusive workshops with the Per.Art organization. For the youngest visitors, we have prepared an educational programme Once Upon a Time There Was a Painter. Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107<\/em>, while young people will get to know the life and work of Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 through the programme Predi\u0107 as a Comic Book Hero<\/em>. In this manner, we wish to point out the importance of creating a society in which all visitors equally exercise their right to participate in cultural life.\u2019<\/p>\n

We Did Not Know about Predi\u0107<\/h2>\n

The author of the exhibition also referred to lesser-known details from the life of Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107, which are important for understanding his work. \u2018The public may not know that Uro\u0161 Predi\u0107 was not only a great painter but also one of the smartest, an intellectual of high literary culture and unobtrusive erudition. He had a highly developed awareness of truth, moral values and a passion for spiritual improvement, looking up to the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, for whom he had great respect,\u2019 explained Mi\u0161i\u0107.<\/p>\n

The influence of this idealist philosopher, a classic representative of pessimism, as he says, is also noticeable in Predi\u0107’s work, but also, above all, in his personality \u2012 in his tendency to melancholic-pessimistic thoughts, introspection, solitude, in his consistency with principles and the persistence of his own beliefs. Consistent with his principles in painting and art, steadfast in nurturing his own artistic qualities and values, Predi\u0107’s melancholic character and his painting became a symbol of idealism and the pursuit of universal and timeless values such as beauty and art.<\/p>\n
