The welcome by Academician Zvonko Kusi£¿, president of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, presents Vani£¿ta as a fruitful writer, a chronicler of artistic events, and a subtle painter, as well as a destroyer of convention, and Krle£¿a¡¯s master portraitist. Andrea Zlatar Violi£¿, Croatian Minister of Culture, opened the exhibition with a speech on the significance of Vani£¿ta¡¯s works, with an accent on the versatility of his opus expressed in the connection of words and drawing as a virtual reality of exceptional existence. Academician Tonko Maroevi£¿, exhibition author, conceived an exhibition led by the idea of illustrating the range of the artist¡¯s interests, not of the presentation of exhaustiveness or completeness, concluding that Josip Vani£¿ta provides measure and dignity to the work he does, a vocation followed by the creative gifts with which he enriches us. The organization of the exhibition was provided for by Academician Velimir Neidhardt as editor and associate member Nenad Fabijani£¿ as exhibition designer %K exhibition %K opus %K writer %K painter %K Gorgona %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=204036
