Spring » Proleće | 39 It’s been seven decades since the Sava Šumanović Gallery was founded in Šid, which testifies to this artist’s huge legacy, which was gifted by his mother Persida to her fellow citizens, thus fulfilling her son’swill and testament, but alsoher ownwish. Šumanović’s Memorial House, which opened to the public fully 40 years ago, provides visitors with an opportunity to see the kind of elegant harmony in which his spirit developed over the first 10 years of his life. The largest room in the house, converted into a painting studio, reveals the ambience in which many of Sava’s masterpieces emerged during the last decade of his life. There’s also a paint palette with surprising brown tones that he used to emphasise nature, using their shading to express the This famous painter rejoiced in the colours of all seasons, emphasised nature with his tones, using their shading to express the glow of summer, the whiteness of winter and, above all, the greenery of spring, which we present to you here Ljudi tu nema, umesto njih u prostor izlaze konture kuća, drveća i brazdi njiva. Ljudi je postao stvarno svestan tek kasnije, slikajući šidsku decu i umnožavajući figuru one lokalne plavuše, kao i crnki što ih je skicirao u Parizu da bi joj pravile društvo među Šidijankama. Od njih, izloženih na celom zidu, zastaje dah posetiocima šidske galerije, gde se čuva 417 njegovih dela, od toga 350 slika izvedenih tehnikomulja na platnu i 67 skica u različitim tehnikama. Posmatrač ushićeno ćuti i kad gleda stamene Beračice, s punim korpama grožđa i raskošnim vinogradom u pozadini. Poznavaoci Savinog dela i lika prosto osećaju veliki umetnički naboj neposredno pred njegovu smrt, pitajući se šta bi još postigao da nije otišao prerano. Ako ga novi naraštaji pamte po slikarskim dometima, često revolucionarnim, njegovi savremenici znaju da je Sava bio panteista, intelektualac, gospodin, da se od svojih „slikarskih drugova razlikovao po odevanju, držanju i govoru“. Stvar je izbora maštovitih da ga zamisle kako sedi u kočijama i jezdi kroz pejzaže, razbeharenim voćnjacima, lutajući prašnjavim putevima u potrazi za inspiracijom. Ili večnosti, gde mu je i mesto.
