Summary
Frano Dulibić: The Paintings of Vladimir Varlaj
The monograph on Vladimir Varlaj (1895–1962) comprehensively interprets the work of this important Croatian modern painter, a member of the so-called of the Prague group and one of our most prominent landscape painters. The author presents his interpretation through the question of the formation of the painter's expression, then the central theme of his landscapes and the few still lifes and portraits. The concluding chapter identifies the most personal features of Varlaj's painting, in his best works created in a period of only fifteen years.
The appendices to the book include an overview of the artist's life as well as a presentation of Varlaj's fate in critical reviews and synthetic historical-art reviews. Below is a list of Varlaj's exhibitions during his lifetime, i.e. those where his works were exhibited after 1962. Usual appendices include a bibliography, a list of reproduced works and a summary in a foreign language. (Editor's note)
