NAIVNA UMETNOST
4
Opština Kovačica na-
lazi se u Južnobanat-
skom okrugu i, pored toga
što je prestonica naivne
umetnosti, ona je mesto
živog ukrštanja kultura. Na-
ivno slikarstvo, živopisnog
kolorita i sa obiljem detalja
iz svakodnevnog seoskog
života, u opštini Kovačica
ima dugu, međunarodno
priznatu tradiciju. Naivna
umetnost Slovaka uvrštena
je na Listu elemenata nema-
terijalne kulturne baštine
Srbije. Ove godine slavi
se 160 godina od rođenja
Mihajla Pupina, jednog od
najvećih umova 20. veka,
kome je posvećen zavičajni
kompleks u njegovom rod-
nom selu Idvoru, nadomak
Kovačice.

NAÏVE ART

The Municipality of
Kovačica is located in
the South Banat District
and, in addition to being
the capital of Naïve Art, it
is also a place for cross-cul-
tural living. Naïve painting
,
with its vivid colours and
abundant details of every-
day village life, has a long
and internationally recog-
nised tradition in the mu-
nicipality of Kovačica. The
naïve art of the Slovaks has
been included on the list of
intangible cultural heritage
elements of Serbia.
This year marks the 160
th
anniversary of the birth
of Mihajlo Pupin, one of
the greatest minds of the
20
th
century, and the local
homeland complex in his
native village of Idvor, near
Kovačica, is dedicated to his
memory.

čuveni arhitekta Le Korbizje posetio
je Knjaževac i inspirisan slikovitošću
ulica i arhitekturom, napravio je crtež
grada koji se danas čuva u Narodnom
muzeju u Beogradu.

esque streets and architecture, drew
a sketch of the city that is now kept

MOLITVA POD MIDŽOROM
4
Ovaj grad i njegova oko-
lina zainteresovanom
posetiocu nude bogatstvo
istorije, očuvanu i živu narodnu
tradiciju i veliki izbor aktiv-
nosti u netaknutoj prirodi. U
podnožju Midžora, najvišeg
planinskog vrha istočne Srbije,
u selu Vrtovcu, svake godine se
početkom maja o Đurđevdanu
održava svetkovina Molitva
pod Midžorom. Jedinstvenost
tog rituala jeste što u sebi
spaja paganske i hrišćanske
elemente i svedoči o pradavnim
vremenima. Danas Molitvu pod
Midžorom prati i atraktivni et-
no-festival kojim se proslavljaju
tradicionalna pesma i igra, stari
zanati i pripremanje raznih sta-
rinskih jela.

PRAYER UNDER MIDŽOR
4
This town and its surround-
ings offer to interested visi-
tors a rich history, preserved and
living folk traditions and a great
variety of activities in unspoiled
nature. At the foot of the Midžor
mountain peak, in the village of
Vrtovac, each year on St. George’s
Day in early May, the pageant
known as the Prayer under
Midžor is held. The uniqueness
of this ritual lies in the fact that
it combines pagan and Christian
elements and bears witness to
ancient times. Today the Prayer
under Midžor is accompanied by
an attractive ethnic festival, which
celebrates traditional singing
and dancing, handicrafts and the
preparation of a variety of dishes
dating back to olden times.
