On June 17 at 6:00 PM, we presented the new monograph dedicated to the artist and cartoonist Boris Dimovski.
The publication is the result of in-depth research and is a fitting closing to the retrospective exhibition organized on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth.
The event was attended by the deputy director of the museum Nela Rachevits, the author of the book Krassimir Iliev, and the designer Ana Radkova.
Among those present were members of the editorial and translation teams, representatives of cultural circles, the mayor of Gabrovo Municipality Tanya Hristova, and numerous citizens.
In her welcome address, Nela Rachevits highlighted the significant place of Boris Dimovski both in the history of the museum and in the cultural life of Gabrovo.
“This is a worthy publication for our museum. Few institutions in our country would cope with such a serious, profound and large-scale work on Boris Dimovski. His work and his connection with Gabrovo deserve such a study,” she said.
According to her, the publication is the result of a thorough study by the author in close cooperation with the museum team, public institutions, the artist’s family, researchers and collectors, including work with archival documents, correspondence, publications and other materials related to the artist. She added that the monograph is a logical continuation of the retrospective exhibition dedicated to Dimovski.
For his part, Krassimir Iliev shared that the creation of the monograph was a real professional challenge, and emphasized the key contribution of the museum team to the successful implementation of the project.
Currently, those interested can purchase this luxury edition in the store of the Museum of Humor and Satire.
