A conscious abandonment of reality: Sava Sekulić i Ilija Bosilj
The exhibition A conscious abandonment of reality: Sava Sekulić i Ilija Bosilj presents 67 works of these two artists from different museum collections, and is accompanied by two documentary films: the film about Ilija Bosilj is the work of director Žika Mitrović and was produced by Centarfilm, while the film about Sava Sekulić is directed by Slobodan Pešić also offers segments of conversations with the artist himself. The exhibition is complemented by documentation, including a letter from Jean Dibiffe about Ilija’s art, written when Dibiffe included it in his collection (which today forms the Collection dell’Art Brut in Lausanne). Considering the importance of the artistic works that are exhibited, because they are two of the most internationally recognized authors from the domain of raw art, but also about works that from the very beginning move in the border area of contemporary and art brut, the exhibition also has a certain theoretical artistic aspect that contributes to its importance.

Pomorišac – Vasa Pomorišac
Pomorišac’s artistic path developed from his native Modoš, through Zagreb, Munich and Belgrade, all the way to London and Paris. His recognition in the world of art is evidenced by numerous commissions and works executed in various media, various themes and for various needs – from portraits, religious and mythological compositions in oil, through historical and folk motifs in fresco painting, stained glass and book illustrations, to designs for banknotes, but also a good reception by critics and positive opinions of the then professional public, colleagues and society in general. Also, cooperation with Matica Srpska was not absent. He was the last, the eleventh scholar of Matica Srpska, which is why it is no coincidence that the 175th anniversary of the Gallery of Matica Srpska, which began with an exhibition of the works of the first scholar Uroš Predić, was rounded off with an exhibition of the works of Vasa Pomorišac.
