From the Heritage of Matko Peić: The Boy’s Picture Book
Vesna Vlašić
Abstract
This year celebrates hundredth anniversary of birth of Požega’s Matko Peić, art historian, painter and author. This paper will deal with Peić’s work as an author, the piece of work that has been a little neglected and unavailable to broader audience. The subject of interpretation will be poems from unpublished collection of poetry The Boy’s Picture Book written in the time period from 1942. to 1945. Poems were written in Požega and Zagreb. The handwritten collection is a part of Peić’s heritage that is kept in the City Museum of Požega. It’s interesting how Julije Benešić was the first person to whom Peić gave the unpublished collection of poetry The Boy’s Picture Book to read, this is attested by the correspondence also found in Matko Peić’s legacy.
