100th anniversary of the birth of Zuzana Chalupová
Zuzana Chalupová (Kovačica, February 5, 1925 – Belgrade, August 1, 2001) dedicated her entire life to art. She lived and created in her hometown, and found inspiration for her works in her surroundings and everyday life. She only completed five grades of elementary school, but her passion for painting and her inspiration transcended the boundaries of education, making her one of the most significant protagonists of the Kovačica naive art. The leitmotif of Zuzana Chalupová’s work is the children, who made her famous and after whom she was named “Mama Zuzana”. Her compositions, oil paintings and drawings, with genre motifs, biblical themes and themes from everyday life, abound in warm and emotional depictions. Well-known are her paintings of winter, which fascinate with their captivating colours and perfect compositions. Her works today adorn many galleries and museums around the world. She has exhibited, individually and in groups, at numerous exhibitions throughout the country and the world, including in Paris, New York, Rome, Vienna, Bonn, Zurich, Copenhagen, Geneva.
