The exhibition of works "Saint and King" by the Montenegrin artist Dimitrije Popović was opened on the occasion of the celebration of the Day of the Municipality of Bar.
The display consisting of two graphic maps, each containing ten works, dedicated to the Montenegrin sovereigns - Peter I and King Nikola, was opened by the President of the Municipality of Bar, Dušan Raičević, last night in the Local Museum
"Feelings of deep respect and pride pervade throughout today - both for the personalities represented in Popović's works, and for all those who, decades after King Nikola, brought freedom to our city with the same Montenegrin defiance and courage," Raičević pointed out. and it is stated in the announcement of the Municipality of Bar.
He also publicly thanked Popović for the gifted graphic map that was dedicated to King Nikola and which, symbolically, will be placed in the former residence of this sovereign.
Anastazija Miranović, in her critical review of the exhibition, said that Petrović's Montenegro was observed by many artists and that even Popović could not resist that artistic urge.
She said that in a concise, symbolic, frontal, allusive way, Popović builds the saga of the identity of the Montenegrin being and the state through its two undisputed sovereigns.
