ONCE AGAIN WE ADMIRED THE NEW YEAR GREETINGS by Peter Závacký
Junco (Spain)
Bouschet René (France)The original New Year greetings - New Year's cards - which were born once in Victorian England (18th century) are now not only small - funny, smiling, comic to absurd paintings of artful paintings from the studios of painters and graphic designers. Traditional symbols of alternating years - old and new - farewells and welcomes - in the period from Advent, the Three Kings until the third decade of January have become indispensable messengers of good news - wishes of health, happiness and achievements, personal, family and work.
Čertovica-Lajštroch Today's famous New Year greetings - such as
small, paper paintings - with Christian attributes and the symbol of winter -
eaters decorated with snow duvets, winter landscapes and animals were created
/i.e. on the islands to order thanks to rich and wealthy families.
They soon appeared in the old Europe and penetrated
the then Russian Empire. And their insever was found. In Prague, the
painter Viktor Stretti - the first - enriched his own New Year's paper
congratulations with a written supplement P.F. - "congratulations -
to happiness" in the form/form/ of two French words
"Pour Féliciter". His idea, his grandson, his abbreviated, only
two-song form of the magically magical acronym "P.S." have preserved
the New Year's to this day.
They have gradually spread beyond the continent - into
the world. Today, inherently, at the turn of the year - thanks to the emergence
of the postal service, the world is ingesting on all continents. From America,
Africa to Australia. It's the third century.

"The alternation of years is now popular with
painters on all continents. It is a welcome and spectacular opportunity for
artists (mainly thanks to e-mail now/ their virtual presentation - to present
their author's works - New Year's works", says Peter Závacký, curator of
cartoon from Bratislava.
" And not only for painters. But also for their
fans and fans of fine art. They all have a great opportunity to see their
likable artwork every year in a variety of art techniques. From classic 'repro'
postcards to fine opus. Funny and smiling drawings and paintings. Engraving and
lithograph graphics, collages and photo collages, also PC-techniques. All great
art-works from leading, well-known and popular painters and cartoonists.
Authors of domestic and also from the world, countries close and distant -
cartoonists, painters, graphic designers, cartoonists. But today also artists
from the ranks of poets and writers /with a gift to draw/, who also added a
verse or an aphorism or , an epigraph. They all visually please their eye
together and caress their souls," added curator Závacký.
PF 2021 Alexandrov Vasiliy Rusko SATISFIED AND SMILING FACES
"Satisfied smiling and faces at my recent exhibitions in Slovakia and the Czech Republic - exclusive presentations of international art - cartoon project "ART TRIBUTE To "PF" "they are for me this kind and joyful proof."
Amorim (Brasil)And there's something else I want - as the author - to
say - to add. Why hide it. I'll be proud to say that. When drawing, painting
and drawing new year's books, they always have solo (long since/ cartoonists).
Masters of humor in graphics - an art humorous acronym. They draw quickly, in a
flash. Excellent. And they also think fast - but especially wisely, warmly,
honestly and thoughtfully. Cartoonists discover the hidden truth. They're like
kids - they don't lie...
Despite the unplanned virus, the artists didn't rest
and didn't start lazy even now - when the years were alternating - 2020 and
2021 - they drew, painted, engraved, christianized - they made their kumštom a
great fan. But they also delighted themselves and stroked their egos. On
merit.
Moreover, for more than a decade now, New Year'saries
are also the subject of passionate collecting interest. With us, in Europe and
in the world. Especially artistic New Year's pieces from the studios of
recognized masters of palette, brush and engraving are searched.
And who today has in his collection in Bratislava and
Prague "opus" Tibor Bartffay, Arpád Račko, Ján Kulich, Karol Zachar,
Jura Kotouček, Lubomír Vaněk, Bohuna Plocháňová, Milan Vavra, Jiři Trnka, Adolf
Born, Jiři Winter Neprakta, Vladimir Suchánek, or in a world with the
handmnance paraphse of Jefimov, Motchalov, Kukrynixy, Lososinov, Rachkov,
Voznyuk, Sabat, Baptistao, Balea, Boligan, Bouschet, JUNCO, Rassing, Sousa,
Amorin, Gargalo, Yalcin, Ionescu, Cvetkov, Eschonkulov, Gutcol, Semendyaev -
happy to be among the collectors of their opus
Also let us be satisfied by the realization that this
beautiful habit of sending you to the new year "PF" he didn't lose
any of his magic. Not for centuries. Miraculously, it was preserved even at a
time of dominance of sms and e-post.

MINI-EXPOSURE ART TRIBUTE TO "P.F. 2021"
It is therefore very timely to recall the strength of
this rare long-standing tradition in the new year and habit with us - the
elderly - on our favorite and watched portal of the Master OSVALDO MACEDO
DE SOUSA.
From the quantities of New Year's orders from friends
from my post PF 2021 I have selected for you, if you will allow, at least
"dear" ONE LARGER DOZEN, small but also large and original smiling
works of art - New Year's - in the form of this Mini-Exposition ART TRIBUTE TO
"P.F. 2021 " from friends and recognized masters of humorous visual
acronym - in our country and in the world - from the Danube River and the
Vltava River, but also from the Amazon, Nevy - Rivers, Bosphorus and The Wall
of China... namely Jozef Jurko, Jozef Hudák, Jozef Grušpier, Stano
Remeselník, Lubo Radena, Rasťo Visokay /Slovakia/, Lubomír Vaněk, Jitka

Greece Katarína Yourčková... Spaniard Manuel Junco, Frenchman René Bouschet,
Brazilian Amorin, Russian Vasily Alexandrov, Belarusian Oleg Gutzol, Chinese
Zhu Chen and Turk Hasip Pekta.
Art - the art of New Year's art is accessible to every
artist across continents. Professionals - painters and cartoonists, amateurs
without art education, who draw only for their own pleasure, or with the hope
of provoking a smile on the face not only friends. As well as competitive and
non-competitive presentations of cartoon humour from Merida to Vladivostok,
from Murmansk to Johaneburg, from Sydney to the Easter Islands..
As always, you need to start from what is the simplest
and at the same time the most interesting...
