Izložba ‘Đoko Mazalić, 1888. – 1975.’
Đoko Mazalić (1888. – 1975.) jedan je od slikara prve generacije bosanskohercegovačkih umjetnika koji su studirali slikarstvo. Završio je Visoku školu za likovne umjetnosti u Budimpešti (1910. – 1914). Tokom života ostvario se još kao profesor, pedagog, naučni radnik, konzervator, istoričar umjetnosti i likovni kritičar, tako da će njegov svestrani rad skoro cijelu treću i četvrtu deceniju 20. vijeka predstavljati neprikosnoven autoritet u kulturnom životu Sarajeva.
Slikarski opus Đoke Mazalića bogat je i raznorodan i u stilskom i u tematskom smislu. U njemu se mogu naći različiti uticaji, od magičnog realizma, pointilizma, plenerizma, klasicizma i drugih formi sve do same granice apstrakcije koju nikada nije odlučio preći, iako se u nekim njegovim djelima osjećaju nagovještaji bliski kasnijem apstraktnom ekspresionizmu. Tematski gledano, raspon je jednako širok. Izostaju samo mrtve prirode, dok je bogat repertoar folklornih motiva, gradskih prizora, građanskih portreta, animalistike, sakralnih tema, alegorija, te konačno bosanskog pejzaža kao najvažnijeg Mazalićevog motiva.
Ova izložba ima za cilj da nas podsjeti na Mazalićevu veličinu i mjesto u bosanskohercrgovačkoj likovnoj umjetnosti, ali i na naš dug prema njemu.
Kada? 10.10. – 14.11.
Gdje? Umjetnička Galerija BiH, Sarajevo

Đoko Mazalić (1888 – 1975) is one of the painters from the first generation of BH artists who studied painting. He graduated from the Hungarian Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest (1910 – 1914). During his lifetime, he became accomplished as a professor, pedagogue, scholar, conservator, art historian and fine arts critic; his versatile work represents undisputed authority in the cultural life of Sarajevo almost throughout the third fourth decade of the 20th century.
Đoko Mazalić has a body of work that is rich and diverse both in style and in thematic sense. Different influences, from magic realism, Pointillism, pleinairism, classicism, and other forms can be found in it, even to the borders of abstraction that he never decided to cross, even though in some of his works one can feel hints close to later abstract expressionism. In terms of selection of topics, the range is just as wide. Only still nature is absent, while the rich repertoire of folk motifs, city scenes, civic portraits, animalism, religious themes, allegories, and finally Bosnian landscapes as the most important Mazalić’s motif can be found.
The purpose of this exhibition is precisely to remind us of Mazalić’s greatness and place, but also of our debt to him.
