Unknown Author

4.9/5 (33105 ratings)

Description:Tomislav Gotovac (1937-2010) was one of the most important Croatian and Yugoslav artists of the second half of the 20th century. He has left an indelible trace in the domains of film, visual art, and performance and has exerted a major influence on several generations of artists. In the last fifteen years, there has been a surge of interest in his pioneering oeuvre, and his work has been shown at important exhibitions and museums worldwide. With this monograph, Slobodan Šijan, a renowned Serbian film director and one of artist's closest friends, pays homage to Gotovac and his singular understanding of cinema. The book comprises almost 400 pages and its 48 chapters function as 48 movie-like "frames" of analysis, quotes, and commentaries, but also as an attempt at understanding some of the processes that shaped the films of Gotovac and informed his artistic methods. Šijan makes extensive use of his own memories, narration, testimonies, and archival materials. His creative combination of these materials results in a book about one artist, written by another artist, in an uniquely artistic way. The book can be read as a film due to the abundance of visual materials it includes, its skillful graphic design, and a composition informed by the principles of montage/collage. This approach represents a reconstruction of Gotovac's interaction with reality, film, and the arts in general, and it enables the volume to function simultaneously as a monograph about one author, a kind of personal contextualization of a tumultuous artistic period, and as an unique cultural and sociological study of the Yugoslav region from the 1960s on. Tomislav Gotovac lived his life by approaching the words "reality" and "movie" as synonymous. This extensive and meticulous study is the first monograph on his work in the English language. Slobodan Šijan is a film director, writer and visual artist.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
