Dali Manner Surrealist Painting on Reverse Glass by Ico Kovacic
About the Item
A fine mixed-media surrealist or abstract painting on reverse glass by listed Croatian artist, Ico Kovacic, on glass. The image is painted in the manner of several by famous Salvador Dali.
Ico Kovacic is one of the artist who helped develop the Croatian Naïve Art which is known the world over for its intense colors, interesting subject matter and for the fact that it is painted on the back side of a normal pane of glass and viewed through the front! It is often produced by self taught farmer artists, although today there are others painting in a, perhaps, more sophisticated style. Originally this began as a form of “protest” art as the artists were painting scenes showing the repressive government under which they lived. The subject matter has evolved to include almost anything, yet often revolves around everyday life on the farm.
Today, Ico Kovacic and many other Croatian artists are recognized the world over as having taken this art form to its highest level.
Technique & Rarity
Why "naive"?
Naive art is generally accepted as artwork produced by self-taught artists or those who are not trained in classical academic methods. The work tends to be childlike, often with bold, unrefined colors, exaggerated detail and, frequently, distortions in perspective and proportion. The term is also sometimes applied to the works of trained artists who intentionally paint in this style. In their world, emotions and soul are more important than reason and intellect.
This painting is very intense and bright. Because it is painted on glass there are many vivid colors. Remember, signature and foreground go first and then layers and layers of oil, just the opposite of painting on canvas. Spectacular and powerful!
The painting is in perfect condition.
Professionally framed, wood and silver leaf.
