Summary: The project "Visual art phenomena in Croatia from
1850-1950" encompasses previous elaboration of documentation, fundamental
research, (re)interpretation and (re)evaluation of: visual phenomena,
stylistic-morphologic caracteristics and tendencies, development of art
institutions, associations and manifestations, particular techniques and
disciplines, particular artists and key personages of the artistic life in
Zageb cultural milieau, as well as, the rest of artistic centres in the
period between 1850 and 1950. The reflexions of that "ground period" on the
later contemporary movements are followed on the level of documentary
information and critical valuation. Marked is the intention to establish
the criteria and estimation of this specific milieu, but also its enclosure
in the European trends. Monographs have been prepared for S. Šohaj, E.
Kokot, M. Makanec, V. Varlaj, V. Gecan, T. Petrić, A. Krizmanić, J. Seissl.
There have been made synthetic studies of XIX century painting, XIX and XX
century sculpture, development of the Museums in Zagreb, realistic
tendencies in croatina painting of 20-es, development of the art scene
(painting) in Osijek, scenography in Zagreb, oleography in Croatia, sacral
painting in Zagreb archbishopry area. Beside the monographs and syntheses,
chronological studies,bio -bibliographic elaboration, critical
reinterpretations of the chronological and spatial visual arts boundaries
that shall appear as the result of this project, we shall include all the
scientific information into the databse (Visual arts phenomena and events
in Croatia of the 19th and 20th century).
Keywords: visual arts, Fine Arts - 19th and 20th century, Croatia, artistic centers, Zagreb, painting, sculpture, graphic, arts and crafts, design, artists, art associations, artistic groups, museums, galleries, exhibitions, chronology, bio-bibliography, styles and tendencies, art criticsm, themes and genres,
Research goals: Preliminary research and documentary elaboration
(commonly directed into the MA thesis or PhD thesis or monographs) should
be processed through the database so that the already existing and the new
substances might be scientifically reinterpreted with the scope to
establishe synthesized surveys. The level of the elaboration itself and
inadequatly founded scientific comprehension imposed some priorities on the
level of the exactness of data collecting and precise factography
interpretation. In some way according to their lasting of the project tasks
are primarily oriented to the "Visuala art - the Zagreb circle" and pursuit
throughout one whole century. As the national cultural center Zagreb
represents civilisation model displaying its experience of the stylistical
and morphological transformation together with the "oscilations in taste".
Phenomena and events in the other artistic centres shall be simultaneosly
surveyed and completed. Special ambition of this research is to establish
the criteria and estimation which reveal, either the specific notions, or
gradual incorporation into the universal European courses, with
parallelisms and various alternations as their consequences. Horizonatally
and vertically connected different phenomena enclosed in the ampler
socio-cultural milieau are expected to offer - in a range of separate, or
compact studies and monographs, exhibitions and thematic retrospectives - a
defined picture of this so very important, particulary in the sense of its
"modern" grounding, epoche of the Croatian art.
