Abstract

Đorđe Petrović, akademski slikar koji je prošao razvojni put od akademskog realizma, ekspresionizma i nadrealizma, pronašao je svoj slikarski rukopis u tehnici akvarela. Porijeklom iz Gorskog kotara, Petrović srednju školu završava u Karlovcu, Akademiju likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu, nakon čega se ponovo vraća u Karlovac gdje ostaje živjeti do svoje smrti. Petrovićev je životni put uvelike obilježio pedagoški rad, prvenstveno s djecom oštećena sluha te njegova blaga, poetska narav koja ga je obilježila kao slikara. Tražio je inspiraciju u prirodi i prenosio je mekim linijama i pastelnom, monokromatskom paletom na svoja platna. U ovom je radu analiziran njegov umjetnički razvojni put, kao i povijesni i kulturni tokovi karlovačke likovne sredine, ali i njegov pedagoški rad koji je uvelike utjecao na Petrovića kao čovjeka, ali i kao slikara. U tehnici akvarela nastala su mnogobrojna platna, koja su u ovom radu analizirana, te koja su tematski uglavnom vezana za karlovačke rijeke i njegovu okolicu. Petrović je vječito tragao za inspiracijom u prirodi i prenosio svoj unutarnji svijet na platna kojima se uvrstio u jednog od najznačajnijih slikara hrvatske suvremenosti.

Abstract (english)

Đorđe Petrović, an academic painter who went through a developmental path from academic realism, expressionism and surrealism, found his painting manuscript in the watercolor technique. Originally from Gorski Kotar, Petrović finished high school in Karlovac, the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, after which he returned to Karlovac where he remained until his death. Petrović's life was greatly marked by his pedagogical work, primarily with hearing-impaired children, and his mild, poetic nature, which marked him as a painter. He sought inspiration in nature and transferred it with soft lines and a pastel, monochromatic palette to his canvases. This paper analyzes his artistic development path, as well as the historical and cultural trends of the Karlovac art environment, but also his pedagogical work that greatly influenced Petrović as a man, but also as a painter. In the technique of watercolor, numerous canvases were created, which are analyzed in this paper, and which are thematically mainly related to the Karlovac rivers and its surroundings. Petrović was always looking for inspiration in nature and transferred his inner world to canvases with which he became one of the most important painters of Croatian modernity.
