Alison Pilkington posts about "Sunday painter," Croatian artist Ivan Generalic (1914-1992).

Pilkington writes that "Most of Generalic’s paintings are done on the back of glass, a technique that he mastered over several decades and one that reflected his folk roots and craft traditions... Generalic's painting are a visual delight but also an inexplicable blend of the logical and the illogical, the personal and the universal, the poetic and the realistic."
