Đuro Seder - Exhibition of the Paintings from the Collection of Monastery Rama-Šćit
Đuro Seder (Zagreb, 1927) is an eminent Croatian painter who described his work in the catalogue of the exhibition in 1981 in Gallery of Contemporary Art Zagreb:
"I vote for painting which is not afraid of itself: of intuition, swing, unexpectedness. Not afraid of those incentives which arise from tradition. Not a slave of purism and preposterous consistency. Taking, if it wishes, without pangs of conscience, the ‘figurative motif’ as the poetical pretext of painting. For painting not ashamed of emotions. Which makes energy free. Which loves the richness of chromatic experience. Which loves the magma of pigment…
In other words:
I vote for painting which signifies an affirmative and spontaneous Picture Possibility today, in defiance of the sceptical and defeatist Picture Impossibility!"
