Rada Šuštar: Mlaka

RADA ŠUŠTAR: Kočevje – Mlaka

Lavirana risba na papir

 

Rada Šuštar je svojo veličastno sliko narisala ob spominu na Kočevje, in sicer s črnim tušem na papir. Slika meri v dolžino 30 cm in v višino 21 cm.

Umetniško delo predstavlja Mlako pri Kočevju. Motiv je krajina, v ospredje je postavljena mlaka, v ozadju pa izstopa nekaj hiš. Tema je posvetna in umetnina nam sporoča oziroma nam prikazuje prelepo naravo in vloga človeka v naravi. V ospredju je visoka trava, kamenje, ter mlaka, v ozadju se pa širi delo človeka, kako spreminja in uničuje naravo.

Narava je upodobljena s ptičjo perspektivo in linearno kompozicijo. Slika je narisana v celoti s črno barvo, in sicer s tušem. Umetnica je veliko senčila, zato je vidna pot svetlobe iz desne strani. Vsi elementi v umetniškem delu so nekoliko bolj lahke, mehke strukture in vzbujajo dobro počutje. Slika me je zelo prevzela, ker je tako lepo narejena na zelo preprost način. Če umetniško delo pogledamo od dlje, se nam zdi zelo resnična in prostor je dobro upodobljen. Ko se ji približamo, lahko vidimo črte, kako je umetnica senčila.

Slika nastala v letu 1957. Rada Šuštar se je rodila 6. decembra 1920 v Ljubljani. Imela je enega brata Francija in sestro Lidijo. Živeli so v Kamniku pod Krimom. Bili so kar premožni, saj je oče imel lesno industrijo, vendar so živeli povsem skromno, ker so večino denarja porabili za športne ali glasbene rekvizite. Šolanje na trgovski akademiji ji je bilo zelo pri srcu, vendar je morala kasneje še v privatno slikarsko šolo. Bila je zelo verna, zelo solidarna in skromna. Ker ni bila preveč poznana, tudi ni imela nikoli svoje razstave.  Umrla je 25. maja 2007. Kasneje so naredili razstavo o njenih delih v Slovenj Gradcu leta 2018 – 2019.

Menim, da je umetnina zelo umirjena in preprosta. Čeprav je celotna v črni barvi, je dobro osenčena in lepo oblikovana. Vzbudi mi zelo lepo počutje in sprostitev z nežnimi oblinami. Umetnici veliko pomeni to umetniško delo, saj je rada prihajala v Kočevje. Meni pa tudi veliko pomeni , ker ni veliko umetniških del, ki prikazujejo naše kraje, zato je vsak prispevek cenjen.

RADA ŠUŠTAR: Kočevje – Mlaka (Marshes)

Washed-out drawing

 

Rada Šuštar made her wonderful painting in memory of Kočevje with black ink on paper. Her artwork is 30cm long and 21cm high and was made in 1957.

The painting represents the marshes near Kočevje. The motif is nature with a moat in the foreground and a few houses standing out in the background. The theme is secular. The artwork shows the beauty of nature and the role of people within it. Tall grass, stones and the moat in the foreground is in opposition to the work of men in the background — the houses — which has a hand in destroying the works of nature.

The painting’s dynamic composition is shown from a distant viewpoint. The artwork is painted wholly in black with ink. The artist has shadowed a lot so you can see that the light is falling from the right side. All the elements are slightly lighter with a softer structure, which gives an impression of coziness. The painting impressed me because it is made in a non-complicated way. If we look at it from a distance it seems very realistic, and the area looks very authentic. When we get closer to it, we can see the lines that Rada has shadowed.

Rada Šuštar was born on 6 December 1920 in Ljubljana. She had a brother, Franci, and sister, Lidija. They lived in the town of Kamnik under the mountain Krim. They were quite wealthy as their father owned a wood industry, but they lived modestly since they spent most of their money on sports or musical equipment. Rada really liked studying at the trade academy in Ljubljana, but she later went to a private painting school. After successfully completing her studies, she began teaching at the Gimnazija Kočevje high school, as well as in Ribnica and Logatec. She lived in her father’s mysterious house on Dolenjska Street in Ljubljana, where she

was also creating her paintings. She was very religious, sympathetic and humble. Since she was not very well known, she never exhibited on her own.

She died on 25 May 2007. Later on, people made an exhibition about her artworks in Slovenj Gradec between 2018 and 2019.

I think that Rada Šuštar’s art piece is very calm and simple. Even though the painting is made entirely in black, it’s shaded and designed very well. It makes me feel good as it has quite gentle curves. Vito Oražem said that this painting meant a lot to Rada, because she always liked returning to Kočevje after being away for a long time. It also means a lot to me, because there are not a lot of artworks that depict and represent our town’s landscape.
