Homeland characters: Hajrudin Junuzović - Everything Passes, Paintings Remain...

Summary/Abstract: In his life, this “local figure” held various jobs, building a successful career as a typical, as it was called in the time of socialism, socio-political worker. By profession a teacher, he mainly worked in education, with occasional forays into certain prominent political roles in the municipality (Trade Union, Socialist Alliance). With his demeanor, moderate attitudes, and pronounced sense and talent for visual arts, he was among the respected individuals of this town, ending his career in the position of the last socialist president of the executive board of the municipality, handing over power to the winners of the first multi-party elections in November 1990. Although he painted for his soul, seeking in visual art an oasis for his own rest and relaxation, he managed to paint many portraits and landscapes that speak of a talent that, due to circumstances, could not fully flourish. His life would surely have been fuller if he had done fewer jobs he disliked and painted and created more. But it wasn’t all up to him.
