VISITE EL MUSEO K. KREKOVIC, no se va a arrepentir


Sugerir entre nuestro lectores y amigos que dediquen un día, un sábado quizás a visitar el museo, puede parecer una redundancia.
Pero es importante que se destaque la importancia del hecho espiritual que implica, ya que, no solo tendrán el placer estético del material que allí se exhibe, no todo por desgracia, sino poder pensar mediante la observación de sus obras en el destino del hombre, de su meta, de con quién alternaba éste hombre, pensadores, como Gandhi, en suma tener una idea cabal de una personalidad, a partir de la cual se forja un verdadero arquetipo.

Por otra parte, un divertimento económico, la entrada solo cuesta Euro 1,80.- y lo que se siente es tan importante, que el redito merece la pena. Solo el folleto vale la pena.

No lo olviden Ciudad de Querétaro No 3, abierto de 9,30 a 13 y de 16 a 19 horas, de Lunes a Viernes y los sábados, con el horario dela manana.

Si hay confusión con el lugar, vean el planito del margen.
Los esperamos.

Another artefact brought from Peru by Kristian Kreković, a dress of interest for musicians.


The identity of Kristian Kreković has been expressed in his unique way during his stay Peru in 1950s. His coat of arms is composed of three parts: first comes centuries old Bosnian lily, then a very old Croatian coat of arms, and finaly coat of arms of Peru. He very often signed his works of art as pintor croata-peruano. Kristian Kreković obtained citizenship from the president of Peru in 1954, and was an honorary citzen of Cusco, a famous capital of the old Empire of Incas.

Kreković's series of Golden Portraits (Els Retrats Daurats de Kristian Kreković) devoted to persons that substantially contributed with their donations to build the Gallery.

 
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Vladimir Novak, Zagreb, for his first information about Kristian Kreković in 2002. The result of this information is my web page devoted to the painter, and a series of public lectures about him (6 till now).

Some of Kreković's works of art are kept in Croatia (55 drawings, and the 80 oils donated posthumously in 1994 to Croatia by his wife Sina). See for example the photos of 32 of his oils from the 1994 donation, recently published on CROWN:
