David Wilson has been a gaucho, a teacher, an artist's agent, a documentary filmmaker and playwright, but above all, he has been a lifelong political activist. In the 60s he marched to Aldermaston. In the 70s he protested against the Vietnam War and apartheid. In the 80s, with the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Front, he delivered food to striking miners. More recently, he has been active in the anti-war movement. As the co-founder of War Child, he was instrumental in bringing a mobile bakery into war-torn Bosnia. In 1995 the charity gained prominence with the release of the Help album. Contributors included David Bowie, Brian Eno, Paul McCartney and Sinéad O'Connor. Help captured the world’s attention and brought the healing power of music to young people whose lives had been devastated by war. Left Field is an engaging and humorous memoir which will inspire not only Wilson's generation, but also today's young people who are campaigning for a better, fairer world.
The Fantastical World of Croatian Naïve Art is part of the Museum's mission of presenting the very best examples of world art to our visitors and celebrates the beginning of a new millennium. This exhibition is an ideal way to look back at the end of a century, which saw the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the breakup of communist Europe. Two events in particular inspired this exhibition. The first was Croatia's declaration of independence in 1991, which allowed me to return to my country and to meet with museum professionals, government officials, and the naïve artists themselves. The second was the beginning of a new millennium and the opportunity to bring the two countries I love closer together and to present this extraordinary tradition to a larger audience. Croatian naïve art was a perfect choice, as these paintings vividly explore cultural memories. While these paintings were created by artists often removed from the larger art world, it is perhaps surprising that so many of them are anything but insular. While rooted in Croatian rural life, many are clearly fascinated by and want to be connected to Europe and America. The Croatian naïve artists have played a critical role in how Croatia as a nation has been and continues to be imagined, for those living in and outside the country. These paintings can also be admired independently of cultural issues. Croatian naïve art has repeatedly been recognized by curators and scholars as some of the most imaginative and technically accomplished naïve or folk art in the world. Much of it counters the designation "naïve," as it is quite sophisticated. That label simply means that these paintings have been created by largely self-taught artists and that they often take as their point of inspiration life in the fields and villages. - Michael Milkovich, Director, pages 8-10.
Naive art first became popular at the end of the 19th century. Until that time, this form of expression, created by untrained artists and characterised by spontaneity and simplicity, enjoyed little recognition from professional artists and art critics. Influenced by primitive arts, naive painting is distinguished by the fluidity of its lines, vivacity, and joyful colours, as well as by its rather clean-cut, simple shapes. Naive art counts among it artists: Henri Rousseau, Séraphine de Senlis, André Bauchant, and Camille Bombois. This movement has also found adherents abroad, including such prominent artists as Joan Miró, Guido Vedovato, Niko Pirosmani, and Ivan Generalic.

Croatia is a magnificent land full of surprises. Visitors are amazed to discover a country with spectacular natural wonders, a great culinary tradition, excellent wine, architecture, a beautiful language, and a vibrant national culture. While it is a small country when measured in square miles, market size, or military power, it has a rich culture that has profoundly impacted the world. The contributors to Croatian Cultural Renaissance: From the Margins to the Crossroad of Europe were the protagonists who survived the communist period and then lived through the fraught period of the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s; they worked to understand, build, and preserve their cultural identity and freedom as Croatian people. They are diplomats, government officials, artists, and academics who are recognized within Croatia for their intellectual prowess and for their vital and noteworthy contributions to their country. While the chapters explore different areas of Croatia’s national culture, they are united in showing how the national identity and ethos have deep roots and provide insight in what it means to be Croatian today.
