{"product_id":"slobodan-kesic-contadini-con-oche","title":"Slobodan Kesic - Farmers with Geese","description":"\u003cp\u003e The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe style of artist Slobodan Kesic is typical of the Yugoslavian naive school, of which he is one of the leading exponents. The naive artist is by definition self-taught, or almost so, someone who has not attended an academy but has found inspiration within himself. Stylistically, this translates into figurative painting that offers a simplified interpretation of reality, with infantile and unconsciously primitivist overtones. However, even the naive artist, in his spontaneity, possesses a self-awareness that leads him to develop a very specific aesthetic language, distinguishing it from amateurism. As we can see, in Kesic's language, the process of simplifying reality is applied to a peasant world, guardian of the primary values ​​that naive painting seeks to extol. Furthermore, from a formal perspective, Kesic's style transfigures reality into a fairytale dimension. The images, formed by pure lines and colors, become iconic, pervaded by a mixed sense of the archaic and the magical that, precisely, we can find in fairy tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSlobodan Kesic is a Croatian artist, a prominent exponent of the Yugoslavian school. A painter who has always displayed a marked naive attitude in his style, his desire to seek out a childishness in his representation is evident, with the aim of imbuing his artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biasia Simone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218620789122,"sku":"SBIA006","price":700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/CONTADINI-CON-LE-OCHE.jpg?v=1768474880","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/slobodan-kesic-contadini-con-oche","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
