Edition of 90. Hand signed and numbered in pencil. The work depicts a lively rural village scene with figures engaged in communal activity around a table, surrounded by thatched houses, bare trees, and a gently rolling landscape. The composition is animated by expressive gestures, simplified forms, and a richly orchestrated palette of warm yellows, greens, blues, and pinks. Everyday village life unfolds with humor and narrative clarity, a hallmark of Kovacic’s work. A central figure of the Croatian Naïve Art movement and the Hlebine School, Kovacic is celebrated for his vibrant storytelling, flattened perspective, and decorative approach to rural themes. This work exemplifies his ability to transform ordinary moments into colorful, rhythmic compositions filled with folkloric charm. The colors remain fresh and vivid. Overall in excellent condition. An engaging and decorative print by a major representative of 20th-century Naïve Art, appealing to collectors of modern prints, folk-inspired imagery, and Central European art.
