Holiday of Parisian intimacy

Andre Breton has sentence which was
loved by Belgrade naturalists:
»Le monde devrait finir par une belle
terrasse de cafe«.
Recently, near Bujanovac, on the south of Serbia,
On archeological emplacement, there was founded
Ancient Greek tavern with terraces reversed toward river.
Breton’s conclusions reality gives for real:
worlds disappeared in cataclysms, almost daily.
In case of Bujanovac, river disappeared
For which is joyous turned look.
There is no flowing river.
No doubt. After all, there was a terrace left which are
So spectacular and directly painting Marko Stupar,
a magician of interior, shades and esoteric light.
In environment his buildings and taverns,
Streets and squares, mostly Parisian,
Suddenly you become stricken with osmosis
of narrow touch.
Skin heals. Discreet pride of intimate touch.
Stupar, subtle and aromatic, suggest
Distinctive air of capital of light
Like a mainly joy.
In the same time, he spokes with artistic
Forefathers Moris Utril and Pjer Bonar in the first place.
But, there are not familiar interiors of Milan Konjović,
In quiet reflexion of old porcelain, not thinner but
Bluish smoke of tavern from famous painting of
Ivan Tabaković, faraway placed in a light of
Lampshade of its own, authentic, artistic attention.
That’s all, involved in Marko Stupar, happens in
close family circle great painting of modern times.
But, at the same time
It is dramatic, ecstatic revival of
Some knowledge. And some relics.
Stupar’s high nourish palette,
This ruffle in peace is for sure proof of
Utter creative personality.
Almost incredible: Stupar is all those squares
And streets of Paris, from Konkord hither,
achieve to make intimate. Almost congenial.
Subversive for sure.
In that way, all those Stupar’s pulses of Paris
Are transformed in a personal adventure,
Chamber colorful drama,
A move by itself.
Artistic journey of Marko Stupar, luckily,
For long time actual, for sure,
I regard a great revelation of our
Modern curiosity.
