Sažetak
The premature, 20th century assumptions about the death of painting were largely founded on an estimation of the mimetic capacities of new forms of media. These new media, however, revised their “objectivity”, while painting freed itself of mimesis. For centuries, paintings (mentally) entered the beings of their viewers; today, the being of the viewer (technologically) incorporates itself into the painting. The work of Nives Kavurić-Kurtović avoids all of these theses and antitheses. Her field of vision precedes the visible world. It is lit from the initial darkness and spreads into the magma of conversion. Using a travelling line, a floating space, a hushed colour, the dramatic relationship (or even the colouring) of black and white, and the importance of the (poetic) introduction of verbal media, Nives Kavurić-Kurtović paints the suffering of the world by dissecting herself, creating an incomparable opus on an international scale.
