Фонд „А" - лицето на живописта в Балчишката художествена галерия
Fund 'A' - the Fine Art's Face in the Balchik Art Gallery

Summary/Abstract: The general impression of the gallery’s collection is that the Balchik Art Gallery owns a well selected and valuable fund ‘A’, which defines its individuality. It has works from the old masters, that have worked between the two world wars but it also has works by important contemporary authors from the socialist and post-socialist period. Especially representative of the gallery are is the paintings sector of fund ‘A’. Among the well known authors from the first half of the 20th century is VJ. Dimitrov-The Master, N. Tanev, At. Mihov, B. Obreshkov, Ts. Lavrenov, V. Barakov, V. Lukanov, Iv. Ne­ nov, St. Venev, Iv. Hristov, N. Balkanski, B. Stefchev, P. Morozov, M. Zhekov, I, Petrov, P. Abadzhiev, Pr. Karshovski, Hr. Kavarnaliev. Among the contemporary authors stand out the names of I.Vukadinov, N. Petkov, G. Genkov, S. Rusev, D. Kirov, M. Deneva, G. Bozhilov-Slona, E. Stoichev, L. Dimanov, I. Kirkov, G. Baev, N. Daskalov, V. Decheva, I. B. Ivanov, M. Monev, V. Goev, R. Gasharov, N. Tsonev. Less numerous but very well presented is the younger generation - E. Demerd­zhiyan, M. Bozhkov, G. Assa, A. Daniel, V. Poponedelev, I. Chernev. Their works offer a wide panorama of Bulgarian art. The landscape is represented best, especially that connected with Balchik and the region. Then follow the still-life and the portrait, which are also presented by first­ class authors. The contemporary period is better displayed that from the bourgeois period as far as style is concerned but both are a bit thematically one-sided - this can pass as a specific quality of the collection and consequently - as a particular value of the fund which characteristic traits lie in the sea themes and landscape paintings.
