Title A name given to the resource Josip Vanista Description An account of the resource Josip Vaništa (Karlovac, May 17, 1924) is an artist, graphic designer, writer, academic and retired university professor. He lives and works in Zagreb. He attended school at Rakovcu and continued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of Zagreb, where he graduated in 1950. His first exhibition was held in 1952 with Miljenko Stančić at the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb, which now has more than fifty monographic exhibitions dedicated to him. In 2013, the MSU Museum dedicated him a retrospective entitled Josip Vaništa: Abolition Of Retrospective. He was among the founders of the group Gorgona, active in Zagreb between 1959 and 1966. The group also included Julije Knifer, Đuro Seder, the sculptor Ivan Kozaric, critics Radoslav Putar, Matko Meštrović, Dimitrije Bašičević Mangelos and the architect Miljenko Horvat. Every one of the artists of Gorgona maintained, developed and enjoyed full creative autonomy. Gorgona has supported various unconventional forms of artistic activity, mainly divided into three sections: the exhibitions at the Studio G (1961-1963, Schira Salon, Zagreb, Croatia), the publication of the anti-magazine "Gorgona" (1961-1966 each edition was a work of art in itself) and the creation of concepts, projects and various forms of artistic communication. Throughout Europe numerous monographic exhibitions have been dedicated to Vaništa, who is considered one of the most important Croatian artists.

Title A name given to the resource Erased Line Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Vaništa, Josip Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1991 Description An account of the resource In March 1991 the collector and publisher Francesco Conz, in collaboration with the Muzej Suvremene Umjetnosti - MSU Zagreb, invited a few artists who had been part of Gorgona, the Croatian avant-garde group active between 1959 and 1966, to an artistic residency at the castle of Brunnenburg in Merano, Italy. During their residency, the five artists created thirteen works of art as well as fifteen hand-made copies of each work. All of which were created on the same size of paper. These works should have been part of a box, an art edition that initially should have included large-scale reproductions of seven of the group's old works, printed on canvas in Como, in addition to en eight obtained by merging the former in a continuous strip to create sort of a "collective work" - together with photographs documenting the residency, historical photographs and video interviews filmed in Brunnenburg. Conz died in 2010 but the box was never finished, although all of its components had been created, except for the folder that was supposed to contain them. The works of the artists have since remained in F. Conz's Archive. For this work Vaništa combines two cardboards, dividing the first one longitudinally with a line, which is a pattern that he had begun to use in 1961 and had become a symbol of his painting tecnique, devoted to simplicity, searching for essentiality and at the same time marked by a detached and often ironic attitude. Unlike his earlier technique, which he often re-adopted since the 60s and involved a soft pencil and a ruler, at Brunnenburg Vaništa created his work using a collage technique.<br /><a href="https://www.repository.unipr.it/bitstream/1889/2659/1/Vaništa_Erased%20Line.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more.</a> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Scotti, Marco Zinelli, Anna Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource image/jpeg Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Still Image Rights Holder A person or organization owning or managing rights over the resource.
