Uroš Predić. The Noble Essence of Everyday Life

The exhibition Uroš Predić. The Noble Essence of Everyday Life, authored by Snežana Mišić, PhD, and Professor Igor Borozan, will officially open at the SASA Gallery, on Tuesday, 12 March, at 7 p.m. as a result of a successful, several-decade-long cooperation on the promotion and presentation of the overall national art and cultural heritage between the Matica Srpska Gallery and the SASA Gallery. On this occasion, the two institutions were united by artist Uroš Predić, who, throughout his long and in term of creative work very prolific life, was inseparably linked to both Matica Srpska and the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. A similar exhibition was realized at the Matica Srpska Gallery in 2022/2023.

Parallels. Timișoara / Novi Sad

The collections of the National Art Museum and the Gallery of the Matica Srpska had unusually comparable histories that can easily be seen in the personalities of their founders, in the artists, that is, in the works of art they collected. Both collections were founded in the middle of the 19th century from the initial bequests of two exceptional individuals, two great benefactors and beacons of the Age of Enlightenment – Sava Tekelija (1761‒1842) and Zsigmond Ormós (1813‒1894), and they originated from reputable scientific societies. On those grounds, a unique exhibition was created – the collection of the imaginary museum of the European Capital of Culture. This collection confirms the strong historical ties between the two cities, the similarities of social situations and the artistic space in which they developed during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
