About the Item

In this listing you will find a piece of art by one of the leading Modernist artists of Yugoslavia - Leonid Šejka. He painter and architect, and a member and founder of the art group Mediala. Šejka is now regarded as one of Yugoslavia's most original painters, who tried to achieve a new objectivity - neither modern nor post-modern - by depicting the contingent object world in a magical space bounded by "City", the "Junk Yards" and the "Castle". His work was marked by a political commentary on Communist party and its leader, Josip Broz Tito, who's small portrait could be found in this piece of work. He criticized the government for its rule, which is why he was targeted by the party. This work measures 28x20cm without the frame and it is done in ink on a thin cardboard. When purchased the painting will be carefully wrapped up and packed in a way to avoid any damages in transport. As soon as shipped you will receive the tracking number for your package. If you have any additional questions regarding this piece please feel free to contact me. Happy shopping!
