Prsten od zmije – The Ring of a Snake
“… After long and serious illness his (Josip Generalic) mother died. By his mother’s death as if the part of his own were lost. His father lvan was also leaving, and deep conflicts and traumas within himself turned him toward some new themes and forms in his paintings.
Now there appears the opus of psycho-sociological paintings as they are called by historians of arts.
The author calls this opus The Black Phase:
“Guiana 78”, 1978; “Trauma I”, 1979; “Do not wish for your neighbor’s land”, 1979; “The Ugly Creature s Hug”, 1980; “The Ugly Creature Allergic to Bees”, 1983, and others….”
“… The Ring of a Snake is a convincive iconography of horror.
There is no doubt that the graphics contain the most exciting drawings by Josip Generalic. These are symbols of debauchery that are comprehensible in all respects: and these are the signia of unworthiness on which the artist is putting a curse. If the arstist’s moral judgement derives from his life experience, his expression is built on the creative intuition extracted from the shapelessness of his excited frame of mind…”
