Exhibition of Ljubomir Pavićević Fis Exhibition coordinator: Milica Cukić MA, Senior Curator Ljubomir Pavićević Fis, the pioneer of Serbian and Yugoslav design is certainly our oldest and most famous designer. Fis has been working as a designer ever since 1953, passing from his native ViÅ¡egrad (1927) to Sarajevo and Belgrade, to New York and other world centers, from domestic fairs to prestigious galleries and museums. Therefore, he symbolizes the progress of our contemporary design, from party-propagandistic works, to autonomous acknowledged art. With him and his generation, design ceased to be painters' and engravers' side activity. The creation of industrial products gradually included professionals, defining a new profession – designer. The history of design does not know many creators that are engaged in all fields of it for 55 years – as Fis. He is an engraver, industrial designer and designer of packages, sculptor, set designer, interior designer, designer of huge political outdoor manifestations, and he worked with success in redesigning of graphic and industrial design, theoretical and pedagogical work. He is the author of panels, promotional art exhibition design, posters, leaflets, advertising graphics, book design, movie clips, emblems and signs, printed textile, toys and industrial products, as well as all kinds of packaging such as lotion containers, wine bottles, to glasses and vases. The exhibition in The Museum of Applied Art will present more than 100 Fis' graphic design works. _________________________ The Museum of Applied Art 18 Vuka Karadzica 11000 Belgrade Phones: +381 11 2626 841, +381 11 2626 494 Fax: +381 11 2629 121 E-mail: info@mpu.org.yu www.mpu.rs |
