Neeta and I went on our last morning together to the Art Museum. We had a rainy last morning and before we went to the marvellous Itaka Library Café (where we had had sumptuous cocktails the night before) for coffee, we went to this museum and essentially had a private tour by one of the staff – Ljubica. We went to the permanent collection which had traditional dress from three eras and archaeological finds from the site we’d been to the day before – The Duklja Ruins.
The highlight were the two art exhibitions. Both by Montenegrin artists still alive.
Filip Janković
He is 95 and all the work on display is from the last 2 years. There are a few watercolours but mostly are oils. And the first set are painted to look like watercolours and are of local places like Kotor.
Watercolours of water
Oils that look like watercolours and are all called “untitled”
Abstract oils
Mirjana Marsenić Vujović – The sound of Silence
We really liked some of her work. She is in her 30s and has some very vibrant paintings.
