Summary

Tonko Maroević: Dragica Cvek-Jordan

Prizma Library. Book 4.

Comparative text in Croatian and English.

From the cover:

What catches the eye the most in Dragica Cvek Jordan's paintings is certainly whiteness, in all possible shades from light brown to soft gray and vice versa. This whiteness, of course, can have a metaphorical value /when it means a wedding dress, impurity, separateness/ but in any case it has an extremely affective effect. This whiteness can tend to be cold /with greenish reflections of incorporated deposits and the base/, and it can grow to a certain warmth /brown interlaced tones/. That white actually absorbs and receives the entire color range, dampens a wide palette, consistently filters polarized extremes and helps build a coherent expressive system.
White as non-color and all-color will not escape a symbolic reading, which, however, is neither simple nor unequivocal. Will we rather be reminded of the spring petals of flowers sprouting from the black earth as messengers of renewal, or are we more ready to think of the dense snow cover that suspends all life? In some civilizations it is directly connected with death, in ours at least with the hygienic sterility of wrappings and sheets and with rites of various initiations. White is always exposed to some kind of threat, attack, danger - even the slightest intervention or aggression will manifest itself with extreme determination. (Tonko Maroević)
