60 artists exhibit at the National Museum
Tirana, April 26, 2012
Spring even when it is late to come, with its magical outbursts in nature, normally enters the hearts of people, eagerly awaiting the change of seasons. And who experiences this necessity the most? I think they are the artists of the creator, the ones who adapt their talent so beautifully to the change of seasons and the arrival of the breezes and the countless spring colors. Therefore, the opening of an exhibition of fine arts, a few days ago, in the premises of the National Historical Museum of the capital, seems so symbolic to me. I do not know if it was my lack of attention or the political noises and unforeseen news, to which our media are inclined, which have hindered, but I did not know that such an exhibition was opened in Tirana. The organizers, respected me and provided me with a beautiful album of this Exhibition. There is information about him and many pictures. One of them, the well-known painter Llazar Taçi, informed me in general about the exhibited works. Thus, among other things, he told me that the beginnings of such an activity were in 1972, when the monist state hit hard not only the 11th Song Festival on Radio and Television, but also the efforts for a “spring” in the fine arts. . So, in commemoration of that unrealized initiative, three years ago, such an exhibition was opened in Tirana, with 65 selected works. So, this year is 40 years later We go through this impressive exhibition and we do not know which painting or sculpture to see first. This is because, each of them, has its own beauty and uniqueness.
Here, we mention here the works by: A. Kadillari, A. Tabaku, A. Gjinopulli, B. Shijaku, B. Tabaku, D. Topallaj, E. Papathimiu, H. Gashi, H. Devolli, I. Beli, I. Baliaj, Ll.Dëna (Bojaxhiu), Ll.Taçi, M.Shurdhi, M.Bushi, Q.Arifi, R.Llukaçi, S.Stafa, S.Milori, V.Nini, Xh.Kadillari and Y.Beqiri. I ask for the understanding of all the authors of this Exhibition, for the impossibility of mentioning here all their names, which they fully deserve. Thus, following this beautiful tradition, this year the Exhibition of Figurative Arts, “SpringArt-3” was opened. Nearly 80 painters and sculptors take part in it, with about 150 selected works. They represent different generations of creators, from 88-year-old Hysen Devolli and continue with well-known painters and sculptors, such as Llazar Taçi, Kujtim Buza, Remzi Kuçi, Maksim Bushi, Nikolin Ivanaj, Aleksandër Filipi, Gjergj Marko and others. Also participating are Ilo Oxa, who came from Italy and Bujar Arizi, living in Athens. Also, the beautiful works of the next and younger generations in this field of art are exhibited, such as: Sefedin Stafa, Gjergj Shoshi, Ardian Blido, Redi Greva, Elisa Saraçi, Zharjon Gjeçka and others. Among them, I met near her works Klodiana Taçi, who has appeared for the third time, in such an exhibition and this year with the paintings “Quiet Nature” and “Flower magnolia”. I am not a specialist in this important field of art our national. But I know very well that the achievements in this direction are satisfactory and this is best reflected in the works, in painting and sculpture, which have been presented this year in this Exhibition. So, this is another beautiful gift of our creators, for the inhabitants of the capital and beyond, in the jubilee year of the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the Independence of Albania.
