Murtić didn’t invent abstract art, but he did introduce it into his country during an epoch opposed to it. And he has been able to renew the thread that has allowed him to be included into the tradition of his own country and that of Europe, that is to say, into the tissue of realism, and of rationalism enlarged from the sensation to the feeling. With him, abstract art no longer changes the roots of art but finds other, deeper roots which have been forgotten, one does not know why!
