Description
ZUZANA CHALUPOVA
(1925-2001)
The World famous Naive Art painter from Kovacica
Zuzana Chalupova may not have founded Kovacica's naïve art scene, but she was certainly its foremost member. She was once taken to the Louvre Museum in Paris to view the world's great works of art. As she approached Leonardo's Mona Lisa, Zuzana's French hosts asked her what she thought of the painting. After gazing at Da Vinci's masterpiece for some time, she waved her hand flippantly and said: "Leonardo could have done better!"...The following day Le Figaro printed this statement over an entire page and ran a large photograph of the unusual female artist from the Banat village of Kovacica; she wore a kerchief wrapped around her head and had ten wide underskirts, as colorful as Easter eggs. The following day, the Paris gallery that was displaying her paintings was packed with visitors.
Those who knew her called her Mama Zuzana. She had a captivating effect wherever she happened to hold an exhibition � be it Paris, Tokyo, Brussels or Vienna. She was also a favorite of photographers and cameramen; Mama Zuzana took the art world like a hurricane, carrying the fame of Kovacica's naïve art the world over�
Many national and international celebrities visited Kovacica to meet these naïve art painters and to view their works. The visitors included such luminaries as Fran�ois Mitterrand, legendary football player Pele, Ursula Andres, Alain Delon, Juan Carlos, Mstislav Rostropovich, Franco Nero... In 1989, some rather strange visitors knocked on Zuzana Chalupova's front door. They were an odd bunch who dressed and acted rather differently; they called themselves the Rolling Stones and were led by a certain Mick Jagger!
"The extremely colorful naive-style paintings recall children's works and fairy-tale illustrations. Admired by professional artists, they are a cute look at the world,"
