The centenary of the birth of Božidar Prodanović, a great painter, is being marked by the Museum of the Rudnica-Takovo Region in Gornji Milanovac, in the region where he was born, and the "Nadežda Petrović" Art Gallery in Čačak, where he began his education.
In the Museum of the Rudnička-Takov region in Gornji Milanovac, this year will be dedicated to the jubilee of Bože Prodanović. The watercolor exhibition "Horizons of Božidar Prodanović" from the family collection of Mileta and Danica Prodanović was recently opened. The museum preserves a legacy of about 100 works and the artist's painting tools. The exhibition is open until August 4.
The author of the exhibition, Ana Ranković, explains to the "Vremena" portal that "in the exhibited works, and there are a total of 31 of them, it is noticeable that the landscapes of his native Pranja are present in all periods of his creativity, and besides them, the regions of the Montenegrin coast are most represented - Bjelila, Krašići , Kotor.... There are also churches - Assisi, Sopoćani, Topčider... There are also photographs of Božidar Prodanović on display as he watercolors landscapes in his homeland".
In Čačak, in the "Nadežda Petrović" gallery, on July 14, the day of Prodanović's birth, two of his paintings were exhibited - "Motif from Lofoten" from 1959 and "The Ceremonial Room of the Birthplace in Pranjani" from 1969, as part of the program "Painting conversations". The paintings are on display until July 26.
The program is dedicated to painters whose works are the heritage of this Gallery, which has been in existence since this year, and is extremely popular. Curator Mirjana Racković talked about Božidar Prodanović.
"We decided to present his oeuvre with two paintings, as an example of some of his important painting themes. These are primarily his native Pranjani, which is why the picture of his room in the house where he was born, which still looks the same, and Norway, where he studied, is on display, which is why this picture of the cold north is on display. His subjects are Peć, where he was a professor at the High School of Art for four years, during which he visited that area and recorded it with his works, and Boka Kotorska. Belgrade, where he lived and was a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts, rarely painted," explains Mirjana Racković for the "Vremena" portal.
The Prodanović family donated 446 works of art to Čačak, given that Božidar Prodanović was born in nearby Pranjani, that he spent one year of schooling at the Čačak Gymnasium, that he actively participated in the founding of the Nadežda Petrović Memorial art event, then the Gallery, and was a member of the organizational board, exhibited at several Memorial exhibitions and independently at the Gallery.
Both these institutions in Milanovac and Čačak are preparing a large exhibition and monograph on Božidar Prodanović for next year.
