Exhibition 8
Sava Sekulić
25.4.–18.7.2026

When he is just fourteen years old, Sekulić is drafted into World War I, to fight on the side of Hungary and Austria against Italy. He sustains such severe injuries in combat that he returns home in 1918 having lost sight in his right eye. He is no longer welcome in his village, which has been occupied by the Italians. Sekulić leaves his homeland and sets out on a journey. What follows is a turbulent life full of hardship and strokes of misfortune. He earns his living with various jobs: as a day laborer, farmhand, logger, housepainter, and finally, bricklayer. His earliest poems likely date from the beginning of the 1930s—around the time of the deaths of his first wife and their child. He soon starts painting as well. His entire budding oeuvre is lost during a move to Belgrade in 1943.

The exhibition is kindly supported by Stadt Köln (Kulturamt).

Ausstellung 8
Sava Sekulić
25.4.–18.7.2026

Sava Sekulić is born in Bilišane, a small village in the Kingdom of Dalmatia (now Croatia), in 1902. He is surrounded by meadows, forests, and lakes, and the sea is not far off. As a child, he tends livestock; he does not attend school. When he is ten, his father dies. Before passing away, he urges his son—whose special gift he perhaps senses—to teach himself to draw and write. For Sekulić, his father’s words are a guiding light that will stay with him until the end of his life.

The exhibition is kindly supported by Stadt Köln (Kulturamt).
