Exhibition of paintings by a victim of Novi Sad Raid<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The exhibition of painting by Nikola Mihajlovi\u0107, a victim of Novi Sad Raid, was opened in the Youth Forum of the Cultural Centre of Novi Sad within the \u2018Freezing Silence Speaks\u2019 programme. The exhibition was opened by the director of the Cultural Centre, Dr Andrej Fajgelj, and artist\u2019s cousin and witness of the Raid, Mr Gavrilo Malen\u010di\u0107, was also present. After the opening speeches, senior curator and historian \u010cedomir Jani\u010di\u0107 personally showed the exhibition to the visitors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 The exhibition by the artist who perished in Novi Sad Raid is one of the opportunities to remember what culture was like in Novi Sad between the two wars. Visitors that came to the opening could see rare paintings that remain from this great artist and which represent his development in war painting.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Director of the Cultural Centre, Dr Andrej Fajgelj, said that this is one of numerous events with which this institution tries to fill the void in hearts of those who survived and who lost their loved ones in Novi Sad Raid.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We fail to respect ourselves and victims and to ensure that sufferings that repeated several times in the past do not happen again in this century. Paintings that we can see remind us that suffering did not skip people who were artists, rich and educated. None of this could save them. It is very important to remember them, so that similar thing would not happen to us and our children \u2013 said Mr Fajgelj, adding that these paintings also show victims that must not be forgotten.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Nikola Mihajlovi\u0107 was born in Novi Sad and was a Serbian painter in late 19th<\/sup> and early 20th<\/sup> centuries that belonged to the modern art movement. At the beginning of the Great War he volunteered and went to war, and despite all misfortunes that happened he managed to paint, thus obtaining the epithet \u2018war painter\u2019. Unfortunately, there are few paintings that remain from this painter, because most of them were lost after the World War II. Paintings that visitors had a chance to see are in private ownership of the Malen\u010di\u0107 family. Among exhibited paintings, there are portraits of his nephews Rodoljub and Gavrilo Malen\u010di\u0107, who disappeared immediately before Novi Sad Raid.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 A cousin and one of the surviving witnesses of Novi Sad Raid, Gavrilo Malen\u010di\u0107, described what happend on that faitful day and how he survived by chance.<\/p>\n

\u2013 I was a boy of only six and that day is vivid in my memory. Painter and my cousin Nikola Mihajlovi\u0107 lived within our house, and while our mother tried to save us by appealing to her Hungarian heritage, they had already taken my cousin and his family from the other house. We have not seen each other since that day \u2013 told Mr Malen\u010di\u0107, adding that a month after the Raid he went out of the house and that he could still see marks of that horrific act in snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
