Family Portrait

Family Portrait or Družinski portret is a painting by artist France Kralj (1895—1960).  Kralj painted the picture in 1926.  The size of the painting is 45 in. by 51 in. (115.5 cm by 130.3 cm).  The material is oil on canvas.  The painting is in the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana.

The title of the painting in Slovenian language is "Družinski portret".  The painting shows Kralj, his wife, and his child.  They are leaving his studio after work.  The painting is an example of the New Objectivity style of art in Slovenia.

There are two special things about the painting.  First, the painting shows the artist's personal life.  Kralj did not usually use his personal life as a subject for paintings.  In this painting, there is no emotional or sentimental part element. This is usual in paintings of the New Objectivity style.  They showed concrete people and objects without their qualities or symbolism.

Second, the painting shows a sculpture in the part of the picture that is nearest to and in front of the viewer. The sculpture is a finished work.  It is a sculpture of his wife and child.

Slovenian expressionism 

Kralj went to Vienna in 1913 to study sculpture.  In 1915 he stopped his studies because of the war.  In 1919 he returned from the war and went to study in Prague for two years. From 1920-1923, Kralj was in the center of the Slovenian expressionism movement. Expressionism explores philosophical themes.  Kralj left the expressionism movement and was soon in the center of the Slovenian "new reality" movement.  The "new reality" style uses designs of everyday life.

France Kralj

France Kralj (September 26, 1895 — February 2, 1960) was an artist. He was important in Slovenian expressionism and in the later new reality style. In the 1950s, he started making monotype prints.

Life 

France Kralj was born in Zagorica in Dobrepolje, Slovenia.  His mother was Margareti (born Sever) and his father was Janezu Kralj. His brother Tone was born in 1900 and another brother Ignacij (Igo) in 1906.

SloveniaKralj went to elementary school in Dobrepolje from 1901 to 1907. He went to an art and craft school in Ljubljana,  in 1907.  Then he studied wood and stone sculpture in Ljubljana until 1912.  From 1912 to 1913 he was an assistant in the workshop of Aloysius Podlogarja in Celovcu. 

In 1913 Kralj studied sculpture in Vienna, Austria. In 1915 he stopped his studies because of the start of World War I.  In 1919 he studied in Prague, Czech Republic for two years. For many years he was a professor at the Ljubljana Secondary Technical School.  In 1933 his autobiography Moja pot (My way) was published. In 1937 he won a prize at the world exhibition in Paris for his sculpture Zrebe (Foal).

Work 

From 1920-1923, Kralj was in the center of Slovenian expressionism.  Then he left the philosophical themes for designs of everyday life in the style of the "new reality".

The Božidar Jakac Gallery opened a permanent collection of Kralj's work in 1983. It has paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures. The collection has some works in the expressionist style, the new realities style, and many abstract monotypes of farmers, animals, and landscapes. Kraj's painting "Družinski portret" or "Family Portrait" is an example of the New Objectivity art style in Slovenia.

Bronchospasm

Bronchospasm or a bronchial spasm is a sudden tightening of the muscles in the walls of the bronchioles. It is caused by the release (degranulation) of substances from mast cells or basophils because of anaphylatoxins. It causes difficulty in breathing which can be very mild to severe. Bronchospasms can be caused by asthma, chronic bronchitis and anaphylaxis. 

Bronchospasms are a serious potential complication of placing a breathing tube during general anesthesia. Some of the things that can cause bronchospasms are: consuming foods, taking medicines, allergic responses to insects, and hormone levels, particularly in women.

Arauco War

The Arauco War was a conflict between colonial Spaniards and Mapuche people of Araucanía region, of modern Chile. This conflict began at Reynogüelén in 1536, near the confluence of the Ñuble and Itata rivers. It was between an expedition of Diego de Almagro and a large, well organized group of Mapuche soldiers. Since 1609, each governor of Chile held "Parlamentos" with Mapuche chiefs. At these, they discussed maintenance of a treaty between both parties. Violations of the treaty were frequent.  In 1881, these finally ended, with a process known as the Pacification of Araucanía.
