Summary

Dimitrije Popović: King

The graphic map was made in 100 copies,
numbered and signed by the author of the map from 1 to 100.

The number of this copy is 67/100.

The graphic map "King", published on the occasion of the centenary of the death of King Nikola I Petrović Njegoš (1921-2021), is the author's work of the painter Dimitrija Popović. It contains ten graphic sheets in the technique of lithography and screen printing.

The compositions of this map were conceived in a symbolic way - to express through figuratively abstract elements what was important for the life path of the Montenegrin ruler. Popović said that King Nikola was a wise ruler and a skilled military strategist, a statesman who secured the international recognition of Montenegro at the Berlin Congress in 1878.
He was also a ruler obsessed with ambitions, unrealistic statesmanship aspirations, naive hopes and beliefs in democratic principles and the fairness of large and powerful states, and as a victim of the interests of others he became a king without a kingdom, a tragic figure, a victim of unfortunate fate. dimension of the king's time.
With abstract signs and figurative stylizations on the leaf compositions, images of battles and victorious flags appear, dynamic scenes that merge into symbolic images of the sovereign's aspirations and reminiscences of the past, of the aspiration to build a better world through effort and sacrifice. At the end of this series of graphic leaves, the imaginary frieze as a kind of extension of the king's portrait is reduced to a symbolic triangular form of the tragic monument, which was created simultaneously by the realization of the progress in the difficult socio-political conditions that the king achieved for his country and the awareness of the impotence to resist the inevitable defeat, said Popović.
