(…) It is what you have created that your life is all about.

Dechko Uzunov

 In 2024, we mark the 125^th anniversary of the birth of the great Bulgarian artist and intellectual Dechko Uzunov (1899–1986). There is hardly anybody who is not familiar with his name or his work, which has long been exhibited in museums and is now considered a classic. Having gone through life with the same dynamism he created his art, Uzunov was always of interest to art critics, journalists, artists and the public.
