From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edita Schubert (Virovitica, May 17 1947July 27 2001) was a Croatian painter.

Biography

[edit]

In 1971, she graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb. She was drawing anatomy at the Anatomy Department of the University of Zagreb School of Medicine, where she started working immediately after graduation. [1] Her early works were entirely realistic, later transitioning into installations made of humble materials combined with painted surfaces. In the early 1980s, during the trend of the transavantgarde style, Edita created a series of large-format works with an unusual painterly expression. In the mid-1980s, she shifted to a geometric phase. In these works, she used acrylic on paper with specific blue and red colors, along with black.

Major Works

[edit]

In 1991, Edita created a series of collages, where over a canvas covered with newspaper, she placed black horizontal and vertical lines on pages displaying political commentary and photographs. These works are part of the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. The artist critiques the influence of censorship through these works.

Her spatial installation, called "Ambijent," questions the position of humans in society. The work consists of six painted self-portraits mounted on photographic tripods.
