Marijan Jevšovar

Jevšovar created three different works of art. In two of them, both dated March 5th, he placed a quadrangular figure on the center of a white background, while in his third work, dated March 6th, he proposed a rectangular strip of color on a brown background. Regarding his works, Dimitrijević spoke of '"anti-aesthetics" based on "dirty colors, lifeless pigments, that he spread across the canvas several times" with a tendency to deliberately destroy the formal act and degrade the pictorial fact, making them anonymous and unrecognizable. The works created in Brunnenburg are therefore linked to the central theme of the artist's research, which is an attack on tradition - not ironically as it was in Dadaism, but rather looking at the surface as a central problem of pictorial structure.
