Producing work since the 1950s  she first came to prominence in her native country with Mediala  a group of painters  writers  and architects that made a significant impact on the public and cultural life of Belgrade at the end of the fifties and beginning of the sixties. A recipient of a Ford Foundation scholarship in 1962  Ivanjicki left Serbia to live and work  albeit briefly  in the United States  where she was brought into contact with the most important prevailing artistic trend of the time  Pop Art. This was to have a lasting influence on her work. Ivanjickis paintings are distinguished by the way in which they combine the figures and symbols of diverse cultures and civilizations -- past  present  and future -- to form imaginative montages that evoke  in almost cinematic terms  the spirit of an age. She is  however  much more than just a painter: she is also a sculptor  poet  newspaper columnist  costume designer  and architect. The book aims to appraise these aspects of her work  as well as her painting  over the course of her long and distinguished career  and by doing so to bring her work to a wider international audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67930166427701,"sku":"ByrdShop_0856676632","price":246.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780856676635.jpg?v=1794206875","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/olja-ivanjicki-painting-the-future-9780856676635","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
