Abstract

Tema ovoga rada jest filozofska analiza umjetničkih radova Dimitrija Popovića. Oslanjajući se prvenstveno na filozofiju Emila Ciorana, Friedricha Nietzschea te Arthura Schopenhauera, razotkrit će se kompleksni motivi Popovićeve umjetnosti. Njegova djela predstavljaju duboko istraživanje samog čovjeka kojeg promatra kroz prizmu erotike, požude, grijeha i prolaznosti. Kroz česte motive smrti, požude i ljepote, Popović dovodi u pitanje konvencionalno poimanje estetike i suočava promatrače sa sirovom realnošću postojanja. Paralelno s pesimističnim filozofijama Schopenhauera i Ciorana te s Nietzscheovim prevladavanjem nihilizma, Popovićeva djela preispituju surovost ovoga svijeta i života općenito. Uz razgovor s Popovićem, ovaj rad služi kao refleksija suvremenog umjetnika o ljudskom stanju, pozivajući promatrače da se uhvate ukoštac s egzistencijalnim dilemama koje definiraju čovjekovo postojanje. Sintetizirajući misli Schopenhauera, Nietzschea, Ciorana i Popovića, rad pokazuje međuigru umjetnosti i filozofije te prikazuje čovjeka kao izopačeno, smrtno, grešno i golo biće, kojem jedini izlazak iz ružnog i teškog života pruža upravo umjetnost.

Abstract (english)

The topic of this paper is a philosophical analysis of Dimitrije Popovićʼs artworks. Relying primarily on the philosophy of Emil Cioran, Friedrich Nietzsche and Arthur Schopenhauer, the complex motives of Popovićʼs art will be revealed. His works represent a deep exploration of man himself, which he observes through the prism of eroticism, lust, sin and transience. Through the frequent motifs of death, lust and beauty, Popović questions the conventional understanding of aesthetics and confronts observers with the raw reality of existence. Parallel to the pessimistic philosophies of Schopenhauer and Cioran and Nietzscheʼs prevalence of nihilism, Popovićʼs works question the cruelty of this world and life in general. Along with the interview with Popović, this work serves as a contemporary artistʼs reflection on the human condition, inviting observers to come to grips with the existential dilemmas that define human existence. Synthesizing the thoughts of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Cioran and Popović, the paper shows the interplay of art and philosophy and shows man as a depraved, mortal, sinful and naked being, for whom art is the only way out of an ugly and difficult life.
