Remzija Đumišić
Zagreb, second half of the 20th century
patinated bronze
purchased from the author, 1978
inv. no.: 262
The sculpture, created in patinated bronze in the second half of the 20th century, depicts a man wearing a fez, seated in a characteristically oriental manner. He is raising a coffee cup to his mouth with his left hand, evoking the artist's memories of the culture from which he originated. The sculpture is roughly modeled, with an uneven surface, and its asymmetrical composition along with the restrained movement suggest calmness and contemplation, reflecting the almost ritualistic act of drinking coffee.
