COMMEMORATIVE COLLECTION OF BOGIC RISIMOVIC-RISIM
Gospodar Jovanova 11, Cacak, Yugoslavia
Founded in 1992 as a gift to Cacak given by the parents of the late painter from Cacak - Risim.
It contains 40 paintings and 300 drawings.

Bogic Risimovic-Risim; (Cacak, 1926 - Belgrade, 1986)
Finished primary and Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in the class of Djordje Andrejevic-Kun.
Lived and worked in Sarajevo and Belgrade.
Exhibited his works for the first time in 1945.
Besides painting he was occupied with film scenography, illustration and book arrangement.




"In two decades and a half Risim’s painting went through active art development. he started with great nostalgia for his hometown and finished in his last paintings in pure poetic experience. It was a long and complex process, logical and natural, in which he put his painting instinct and invested his personality.

Being short, straight like a roadside monument, vigorous, defiant, Risim is a type of man who religiosly believed in his people and a painter of high moral responsibility. Deeply devoted to his people by the river Morava, he wanted to preserve and save the picture of childhood for ever. He created something more than that: pleasant and warm common people art, made for man."
