A guided exhibition tour with a sign language interpreter
6 October, 7 PM, PBMC
The painting of Sava Šumanović (1896–1942) almost entirely belongs to the period between the two world wars. His paintings or entire cycles confirm his immediate involvement in the essential formative stages of Modernism in Europe which are considered fundamental for the reception of European influences in Serbia and Yugoslavia. The exhibition in The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection is a retrospective of Šumanović’s art and involves works created between 1919 and 1941 gathered from public and private collections in Serbia, museums in Rijeka, Zagreb, Skopje, Honfleur and La Rochelle in France. The exhibition author, Milana Kvas, will provide visitors with the context of their creation in relation to the circumstances in European, especially Parisian, art scene at the time.
