  • Description

    Hvar. Original gouache on board, unknown year.
    Emerik Feješ is a Croatian-Serbian well known naive artist of urban landscapes. He became an artist in his 45th year and he painted at firs nudes, portraits, still life and genre scenes from suburban life. A few years later Feješ started exclusively with his well known motif of urban scenes. He took black and white postcards with monumental buildings as models and copied them, then magnified them, always adding something from his fantasy. Realistic appearance and the colors were subordinated to the artist’s fancy, so sometimes they were not like original landscapes. He painted the towns at the Adriatic Coast, the North Sea, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, India, etc. Hvar is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, but Feješ didn’t paint the coast or the sea, he painted one of the biggest landmarks of the town – The Loggia with the Clock Tower, with it’s Renaissance like arches and pilasters. This palace is not colorful as his depiction, the colors are as he imagined them.
