Vladimir Juranic - Two drawings

Vladimir Juranic's entire artistic output is characterized by a strong adherence to reality. His famous naive paintings, in particular, reveal a poetic vision of the everyday life of a simple, rural world. In these two drawings, Juranic's desire for realism is expressed in the concreteness of two life-like representations featuring locomotives. In describing them, Juranic is not inspired by a fascination with technology or speed; rather, in his concrete realism, the depiction of the locomotives becomes almost a genre scene, a slice of simple and immediate reality.

The two drawings are extremely interesting, as they show us an unusual side of Croatian artist Vladimir Juranic. In his easel work, he stands out for a decidedly naive style that simplifies reality into a fairy-tale-like language. These two drawings, however, demonstrate Juranic's extraordinary life drawing technique. The two descriptions of the locomotives are executed with great attention to detail and a marked plasticity that brings the figures to life. Yet Juranic also uses a very light and nuanced touch, with an evocative use of shadows that brings the representation to life.

Vladimir Juranic is a representative of the famous Yugoslavian Naïve school of the 20th century. His work clearly demonstrates a desire to seek out a childishness and a magical dimension in representation, with the aim of imbuing the artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence. In some works, his concrete realism manifests itself in a lively representation from life.
