Summary
Vladimir Peter Goss: The Beginnings of Croatian Art
The book "The Beginnings of Croatian Art" answers questions that are rarely or insufficiently asked. The fundamental question of the history of art, especially that which concerns the national in art, is what is generally artistic and what is national in a particular art.
And Goss's book covers a wide range, defining at the beginning what art is in general and how it relates to the landscape, to what extent art is present in the very interpretive act by which the natural creation is interpreted.
From intervention in space, first through interpretation, and then through active interventions, very often initially in the form of architecture, the author follows the development of art in the area where the Croats immigrated, trying to penetrate precisely into what is specifically Croatian in artistic expression.
Enriched and deepened by the knowledge of other professions - philology, history, ethnology, to name just a few - this book closes the circle from the very beginnings in which the landscape itself was art, through works of art in the narrower sense, to the thoughtful integration of urban creations into that same landscape in the form of its reinterpretation and qualitative additions.
About the author
Vladimir Peter Goss (Gvozdanović) (Zagreb, 1942) is an art historian, writer and journalist. He graduated from the Classical High School in Zagreb in 1960, and in 1966 graduated from the Faculty of Philosophy with a degree in art history and English and a master's degree in art history.
In 1969, he went to the USA, where he received his doctorate at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) in 1972, and taught at the University of Michigan, the University of Tel-Aviv, the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, and universities in Zagreb and Rijeka.
He is the author or co-author of sixteen books and scientific catalogs and 95 scientific studies with an emphasis on the pre-Romanesque and Romanesque periods in the Mediterranean and Southeastern Europe.
After returning to Croatia in 1999, he continued his scientific and teaching career at the University of Rijeka as a full professor (2002-2012), and today he is Professor Emeritus who, in addition to medieval art and culture, also studies space, cultural landscape and reach of art criticism.
