Bradic said that this anniversary is an opportunity to examine our own perceptions of our culture, identity and the way new generations relates to the past.
We do not have a clear view of the environment in which this great artist worked and we hope that this anniversary will be a good way to review her work, said Bradic, adding that she will also be remembered for her poetry and her contribution to the applied arts.
He said that the exhibition at SANU will be the first of several events, some of which will link Serbian, Italian and French culture, because Milena Pavolovic Barili lived in many great capital cities.
He said that his Ministry will focus on promoting art through the electronic media, through virtual museums and web presentations, adding that the Ministry has made a web presentation dedicated to Milena Pavlovic Barili.
The exhibition at SANU will present 136 works, including paintings, sketches and drawings. Another exhibition will take place in Rimini in cooperation with the University of Bologna’s department for fashion and technology, the Belgrade Faculty of Applied Arts and the gallery from the artist’s home town of Pozarevac.
The “Museum on the Move” programme will also be part of the celebration and will present her work throughout Serbia.
Milena Pavolovic Barili was born in 1909 in Pozarevac and studied art in Belgrade (1922-1926) and Munich (1926-1928).
After leaving Yugoslavia in 1930 she lived in Spain, Italy, France and England, where her work was jointly exhibited with artists such as Jean Cocteau and Andre Breton.
During her years in the US she also made commercial drawings for fashion journals.
She produced over 300 works, several sketches and drawings and wrote poetry in many languages.
She left for New York in 1939, where she lived until her sudden and premature death in 1945.
The celebration of her 100th anniversary was planned by an organising board led by Nebojsa Bradic which includes head of the Belgrade Museum of Modern Art Branislava Andjelkovic-Dimitrijevic, Assistant at Faculty of Political Sciences Sanja Domazet, manager of the Milena Pavolvic Barili Gallery in Pozarevac Radoslav Stanojevic, philologist Adela Macola, advisor at the Ministry of Culture Sanja Grujicic-Cupac and art historian Lidija Merenik.
The entire event is being held under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture.
