The book set consists of two works, <\/span>\u2018Biografija umetnice 1928 \u2013 2020\u2019 (The Biography of an Artist 1928 \u2013 2020), (180 pages, rich photographic material)<\/b>, by Lidija Pavlov\u010di\u010d, and \u2018Ustvarjanje\u2019 (Creating) (380 pages, expert papers with extensive galleries of her body of art)<\/b>by Tatjana Pregl Kobe (illustrations), Mako Ko\u010devar (caricature), Janez Fajfar (PEN), Tea Rogelj (theatre), Edvard Majaron (puppets) and Ana Marija Kunstelj (painting and graphic art).<\/p>\n Bled mayor Janez Fajfar wrote an introductory paper on Melita Vovk as honorary citizen of Bled. This introduction is complemented by words by Matja\u017e Zavr\u0161nik, Bled Culture Institute Director, under the auspices of which the exhibition and the book will be released, and Ejti \u0160tih, daughter of Melita Vovk, also an Academy-trained painter. The section on artistic work is enriched with Boris A. Novak\u2019s Zamirujo\u010di sonet za Melito Vovk, \u010debelarko podob (The Fading Sonet for Melita Vovk, the Beekeeper of Images). <\/p>\n \u201cI may be too detailed in my account of a person but I consider it intriguing to describe faces that I find interesting. Had I not known him well, I might have thought him mean or corrupt. For a human face is far harder to decipher that it seems at first glance. Beautiful and ugly are to me just as relative as genius and crazy, or normal and abnormal. Where does one end and the other begin \u2013 and so the ugliest face may be beautiful as it is a reflection of a noble soul, and a most aesthetic face may seem ugly as it is just an empty, indifferent mask of a pretty doll.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n From Melita Vovk\u2019s journal written in 1946. Extract from the book <\/span>MELITA VOVK OSEBNO <\/span><\/strong>Biografija umetnice 1928 \u2013 2020, <\/span><\/strong>by Lidija Pavlov\u010di\u010d.<\/p>\n \u201cNature bestows upon an artist its gift of art \u2013 a golden goblet filled with mystery that is there for him to share. The mystery is the fluid that flows through the heart, cleansing itself in the lake of the soul. Whoever drinks from the chalice of art shall remember that the liquid it holds strengthens not the body but the soul.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Melita Vovk in her Pledge to Art, which she wrote in 1936, aged 8.
