Abstract
Zlatko Bourek was a sculptor, a painter, a scriptwriter, a stage designer, a film animator, a theatre and film director, a puppeteer, and an artist who engaged in applied arts. In his incredible artistic oeuvre, he expressed with great fascination the qualities of his native country: endless Slavonian plains fusing on the horizontal line of the horizon with the universe; calm nature of the meeting places; luxurious and libertine feasts; life and fate of the Slavonians filled with joy, passion, love, and horrors of war persecution. He expressed all this with spontaneously drawn sketches, richly coloured paintings, imaginative sculptures, masterful drawings for animated films, grotesque puppets, original theatre scripts, directions of films and theatrical plays, representative exhibitions, and exemplary books. A complete validation of Bourek’s oeuvre, presented through syntheses and analyses of the artistic segments thereof, is a lasting monument to the genius of the author, the life in Slavonia, and the Croatian creativity.
