MACEDONIAN ART
The founders of modern
Macedonian painting included Lazar Licenovski, Nikola Martinoski,
Dimitar Pandilov, and Vangel Kodzoman. They were succeeded by an
exceptionally talented and fruitful generation, consisting of Borka
Lazeski, Dimitar Kondovski, Petar Mazev who are now dead, and
Rodoljub Anastasov and many others who are still active. Vasko
Taskovski's work was presented to the Paris public in 1992 with an
imposing exhibition and auction of about 100 works. Vangel Naumovski,
who was long classified by art historians as a Naive artist, is well
known for his Ohridska Porta Gallery, as well as for the original
world of his paintings.
Contemporary Macedonian artists
include Aleksandar Stankovski, Zhaneta Vangeli, Maja Dzhartovska,
and Gordana Apostolovska who all use various styles.
In addition to Dimo Todorovski,
who is considered to be the founder of modern Macedonian sculpture,
the works of Petar Hadzi Boskov, Boro Mitrikeski and Tome
Serafimovski are also outstanding. The Museum of Contemporary Art
and the Art Gallery in the Daut Pasha Baths are considered the best
galleries. In 1993 there were 413 exhibitions visited by over
240,000 people, 12 artists' colonies with 120 participants, of whom
40 were foreign painters and sculptors.
