      During his two-month stay on the island of Korčula in the summer of 1933, Job painted several landscapes of high artistic value. This brief period represents one of the pinnacles of Job’s work. Two paintings stand out among those created then. They were obviously painted in the countryside at Lumbarda, more precisely on the locality called Vela (Velika) Glavica, so that they are listed in the literature as Vela Glavica I and Vela Glavica II. Their other names are Lumbarda I and Lumbarda II. The first version is in the Modern Gallery in Zagreb and the other one is in The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection. In a sense, these paintings should be observed as a complementary pair: both depict the same motif – several houses in the middle, among them a square gray house with a jagged end stands out, and all this lies within a walled garden whose arched door is in the lower left corner. In the background, there are hills with a wavy outline. While in the Zagreb painting Job attempts to give as much visual information as possible, the other version is free from this and he completely surrenders to an unrestricted recording of elementary landscape features. The painting Lumbarda II (Vela Glavica II) is dominated by a warm, searing red ochre of the soil which, in a triangular ascent, brings us closer to the background where the buildings are situated, and behind them are yellow hills whose colour varies from greenish tones to a sulfur-like yellow. The two rectangles of the vermilion red roofs from the upper half of the painting represent a certain form of counterbalance to the dominant surface of the reddish soil in the lower part. The painting was done in several easily discernible, swift and dynamic brushstrokes, without hesitation. This is by no means a replica of the first painting, but it seems as if in the painting from the Beljanski collection Job wished to demonstrate the ease of creation which does not turn into virtuosity, but rather reveals sincere spontaneity.

      Artist Biography

      Ignjat Job: A Croatian Expressionist

      Early Life and Artistic Beginnings

      • Ignjat 'Ignjo' Job was born in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 1895.
      • Details regarding his early artistic training are scarce, but he quickly developed a passion for capturing the beauty of his native Dalmatian landscape.
      • His formative years were marked by an exploration of color and form, setting the stage for his later expressionistic style.

      Artistic Influences and Development

      • Vincent van Gogh proved to be a pivotal influence on Job’s artistic development. He admired Van Gogh's bold use of color, expressive brushstrokes, and emotional intensity.
      • Job sought to translate the vibrant energy of the Mediterranean environment onto canvas, mirroring Van Gogh’s approach to depicting nature.
      • His style evolved towards a distinctive form of colour expressionism, characterized by subjective interpretations of reality rather than strict representation.

      Key Themes and Notable Works

      • Job’s landscapes, particularly those of Dalmatia, are central to his oeuvre. He masterfully captured the unique light, colors, and atmosphere of the region.
      • His series inspired by life on the island of Brač is especially noteworthy. As Job himself noted, “the beneficial influence of the Brač landscape can be felt, the hot sun, blue sea, and green branches of olive trees swayed by the breath of the maestral.”
      • Recurring motifs in his paintings include the town of Supetar, fishing scenes, and occasional portraits and nudes.
      • His work often conveys a deep emotional connection to the land and its people.

      Artistic Style and Characteristics

      • Expressionist Style: Job’s paintings are defined by their expressive brushwork, bold colors, and subjective interpretations of reality.
      • Color Palette: He employed a vibrant and often intense color palette to convey emotion and atmosphere.
      • Impasto Technique: Job frequently used impasto – applying paint thickly – to create texture and emphasize the physicality of his work.
      • Emotional Intensity: His paintings evoke a strong sense of feeling, reflecting his personal connection to the subject matter.

      Historical Significance and Legacy

      • Despite his tragically short career – he passed away in 1936 – Ignjat Job left an indelible mark on the Yugoslavian art scene of the 1930s.
      • He is considered a significant figure in Croatian Expressionism, bridging the gap between traditional landscape painting and modern artistic sensibilities.
      • His work continues to inspire artists and art lovers alike with its vibrant colors, expressive brushstrokes, and emotional depth.
      • Platforms like ArtsDot.com are dedicated to preserving and showcasing his legacy through high-quality reproductions, making his art accessible to a wider audience.
