Retrospective of Gojko Berkuljan

 ..

Gojko Berkuljan (1923-1989) belonged to the first generation of Montenegrin painters educated immediately after World War II in the Art School in Herceg Novi. In this period Berkuljan created under the influence of Milo Milunović and Peter Lubarda  like some of his colleagues, but in the early fifties took his own way, which had many stages, ranging from "modern traditionalism" to abstraction. Regardless of the heterogeneous work, Berkuljan's inspiration was based primarily on Montenegrin scenery and epic. The largest number of sketches for thematic phases, the artist logically evolved during fifties. As he used to to say, he was interested in "the development of ideas and research, not just to one artistic expression, regardless how recognized or accepted it was.
