Неизвестното живописно наследство на Димитър Драганов
The Unknown Painting Heritage of Dimitar Draganov in Munich

Summary/Abstract: The present text aims at presenting the almost unknown as to the general audience as well as to the scientific community heritage of the painter Dimitar Draganov who becomes a member of the association of New artists in 1943. Dimitar Draganov’s name has already found its position in the his- tory of the Bulgarian fine art. in spite of that, his life and work remain fragmentary known under the wide spread in our country political doctrine and the imposed ideological platform at that time. Dimitar Draganov makes paintings without a break during all his path of life. His first preserved paint- ing (known to us) is „sozopol” (oil paints) of 1936 and his latest attempt at the brush and colour has left the aquarelle untitled (still life with flowers). The main subjects the painter was excited by are cityscape and villagescape as well as the still life. His preferred techniques are oil paints and aquarelle. When he works with oil he uses phaser and rarely canvas. in reference to the colouring Draganov does not resort to an excessive. On the contrary, he often lays pure colours. Despite the great number of his works, toady there is no state collection in our country to posses painting by Draganov in its fund. The generalized examination allows us to say that the „hidden” by the artist himself painting work could be considered as an opposition to the graphic heritage appeared from under his (especially the work created later than the mid forties of the 20th century).
