Summary
Josip Bratulić: Croatian author's greeting cards
After the success of the same author's book on Croatian ex libris, the history of Croatian libraries, this new edition brings for the first time visual material on Croatian author's greeting cards, which has never been covered before. Almost nothing was known about it, because they were mostly sent to private individuals. That's why even a cursory glance at the already well-known Hogge collection shows how early this art form was developed and nurtured in our country, and that it improved more and more over the years. This can be observed especially with the same authors who for years sent their artistically expressed wishes for a better coming year or upcoming holidays to the same address. It is a valuable artistic material, which does not only have a symbolic meaning, but can be read from it as well as the time in which it was created, as well as the level of civil culture achieved at that time - a way of life that is increasingly slipping away from us today. Among others, the following artists are represented: Angeli Radovani Arsovski, Baće, Bakić, Bourek, Dabac, Diminić, Demur, Dulčić, Džamonja, Eterović, Gliha, Glumac, Goldoni, Gračan, Hraste, Horvat, Hržić, Janeš, Kaštelančić, Kavurić-Kurtović, Kinert, Keser, Kovačević, Kožarić, Koydl, Krizman, Kuduz, Kulmer, Kumbatović, Lacković, Lah, Lapuh, Lesiak, Lončarić, Lovrenčić, Lozica, Martek, Meštrović, Murtić, Motika, Paro, Petlevski, Picelj, Popović, Pulitika, Rabuzin, Radoičić, Restek, Svečnjak, Srnec, Šercar, Šiško, Švertasek, Tartaglia, Trebotić, Trostmann, Vaništa, Vejzović, Vrkljan, Vulpe, Zanze, Zlatić, with the master workshop Krste Hegedušić from 1952 and the Biškupić collection and many others.
