Bequest of Nedeljko Gvozdenović
Nedeljko Gvozdenović (1902 - 1988), a painter, bequeathed on 29th April 1980 his assets to the City of Belgrade, including 562 artworks. In 1981, a decision was made for the artworks to be deposited and displayed in the gallery in Kneza Mihaila St. 46. This was not the only gift made by Nedeljko Gvozdenović, as he also donated works to the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the city of Mostar.
The art of Nedeljko Gvozdenović can be characterized as intimist
painting, standing at the crossroads between figural and abstract art.
Examining the laws of
painting and visual interrelations, he painted landscapes, still-lives,
interiors, portraits with poetic atmosphere.
Belgrade Heritage House has been caring for the bequest since June 2007. Thereby, the work on creation of better conditions for care and presentation for this one, and other bequests, has been initiated.
