Exhibition - Uncovering the body (works from the museum's collection)
The Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik
The works shown in the exhibition Uncovering the Body – Works from the Museum’s Collection tell of the human need for the representation of the naked body. They belong to the end of the 19th century, extend across the dramas of the 20th century and find their way into the most recent expressions. Included in the selection are 155 exhibits, some of them productions of foreign but mostly of local or Croatian artists, all of them taken from the collection of the Dubrovnik Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. The selection includes works of painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and photography. Not included is the motif of the naked body that is applied within Christian iconography. All told, 45 artists are represented. The exhibition also features some of the works that are anyway part of the permanent display of the Museum – on the ground floor, the first floor and the terrace.
