The Museum of Applied Art will host the exhibition of the Gift Collection of Dragiša Brašovan, authored by Ivana Janjić, which has been accomplished as a result of the Museum’s cooperation with the Gallery of Matica Srpska.
Belgrade visitors will have the opportunity to see works of applied and fine art that provide an insight into the private life of Dragiša Brašovan, one of our most influential modern architects. All these items, which were part of the interior of the house in Strahinjića Bana Street in Belgrade, speak in a unique way about the taste and penchant of the famous architect, as well as about his family life.
Dragiša Brašovan’s Gift Collection presents over 100 exhibits – paintings, sculptures, drawings, vintage furniture, works of applied art and documentary material that the heirs of this Serbian architect, his wife Viktorija Brašovan and daughter Olga Kovačev, donated to the Gallery of Matica Srpska in the period from 2020 to the beginning of 2023.
The exhibition is complemented by a bilingual catalog with texts by Darko Polić, PhD, architect and Ivana Janjić, curator, a documentary film by Radio TV Vojvodina and a virtual 3D reconstruction of the space where Dragiša Brašovan lived, completed by Snežana Mijić, MSc, conservator.
During the duration of the exhibition, the audience will be able to study the life and work of Dragiša Brašovan and the architecture of the 20th century through the accompanying program in the form of expert curatorial guidance and lectures.
