Bireš Mihal (Serbia)1912-1981 |
He was born in Kovačica in 1912. He began doing painting in 1938. His paintings are an intimate confession presented through landscapes and people whose destiny he himself shared. His best works were the portraits of elderly men and women, neighbours and relatives. Loneliness and melancholy of old age prevail in these portraits, whereby each seems to produce evidence of something dignified and impassable. The composition and colouring are in accordance with the feelings. Due to psychological reasons, their tuning to a Minor emerges from the figures in black robes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
