Razstava akademskega slikarja in multimedijskega umetnika Staneta
Jagodiča, ki je prejel nagrado Prešernovega sklada že leta 1980 za razstavi
v Ljubljani in Slovenj Gradcu, je pregledna razstava, ki se začenja z deli še
iz njegovega študijskega obdobja in sega vse do njegovih zadnjih del.
Stane Jagodič je vsestranski umetnik, priznan in poznan tako doma kot v
tujini, s svojo angažiranostjo že pet desetletij gledalca postavlja v premis-
lek in iskanje.
V Galeriji Prešernovih nagrajencev smo ponosni, da se je umetnik odzval
našemu povabilu, da bo ob svojem življenjskem jubileju gostoval v naših
prostorih, hkrati pa se mu iskreno zahvaljujemo za bogato donacijo več kot
štirideset del za stalno zbirko in mu želimo , da ga navdih in hudomušnost,
predvsem pa kritični duh še dolgo spremljajo v umetniškem iskanju.

Exhibiting at the Gallery
of Prešeren Award Recipients

The Gallery of Prešeren Award Recipients Kranj has been exhibiting works
of the recipients of Slovenia's most prestigious awards in the field of art
for over a decade. Over the years, painters, sculptors, graphics artists,
photographers and multimedia artists have been represented at more than
fifty exhibitions. The exhibition of the academy painter and multimedia
artist Stane Jagodič, who received his Prešeren Fund Award in 1980 for his
exhibitions in Ljubljana and Slovenj Gradec, is a retrospective that begins
with works from his student years and continues to his most recent works.
Stane Jagodič is a versatile artist recognized and respected both in
Slovenia and abroad, whose efforts have invited the viewer to reflect and
search for over five decades. The Gallery of Prešeren Award Recipients
takes pride in the fact that the artist responded positively to our invita-
tion to exhibit at our gallery at the occasion of his 70th birthday, and at
the same time we would like to sincerely thank him for his lavish donation
of more than forty works to our permanent collection. At the same time,
we hope that his inspiration and playfulness, and especially his critical spir-
it, will serve him for many years to come in his artistic efforts.

artist, a versatile researcher and a cosmopolite,
was not an easy one. Since his early childhood
till maturity age he has been permanently fight-
ing a Don Quichotte battle with insensitive and
heartless windmills. Quite often he was a soli-
tary rider, but marked for life with humanism,
idealism and optimism.
