Preliminary communication

Ljubo Babić and folklore

Abstract

In the versatile activity of painter Ljubo Babić we have concentraded on his interest for folk art, applied as motives in his early works that grew stronger in the forties after studying national costumes. Analyses of the colouration by means of the colour scale lead him to a conclusion that the relations between chromatic and achromatic scale, mostly combinations of red and white, are essential in the Croatian national costume. Rural art and the application of colour is recognised by its specific nerve and originality and when studying collective and individual work he concludes that our art is a unification of both.
