Petar Mazev (February 10, 1927 in Kavadarci, Kingdom of Yugoslavia – March 13, 1993 in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia) was a Macedonian academic painter, [1] who is considered one of the most important postwar painters who introduced new energy into contemporary Macedonian art. [2]
Education and career
He graduated from the Academy of arts in Belgrade in 1953 where he studied under painter Zoran Petrovic. [3] He was professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje. He had held individual exhibitions in the United States, China, India, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and other countries. [1] He was a member of the artistic group "Mugri". [3]
Painting Style
Expressionism was a constant presence in his paintings, [1] but before choosing expressionism, he went through several phases including his White Phase and Warm Phase. [2] In the mid-1960s, Mazev started to include in his non-figurative paintings in muted colours and rendered in dense and grainy impasto with materials such as burnt wooden plates, glass, scrap-metal sheets, and sand. [3] In addition to paintings (mostly oil on canvas), he was also the author of murals, mosaics and ceramic arts. [1]
