<Paysage vide>

Paysage vide [Empty Landscape] is part of a series of views from above painted in muted earth tones by Zoran Mušič between 1959 and 1960. The artist was inspired by the mineral colors typical of Dalmatia in the Balkans, where he grew up. The landscapes of his childhood, which he revisited in 1956, appear barren and scattered with dark patches. This image, both empty and imbued with a hidden presence, may also evoke the Nazi extermination camp of Dachau, which the artist survived.
