She is amongst artists like the poets Neruda and Aragon or the painter Picasso who used the powers of art to denounce injustice, to provoke our questioning or to suggest a new social vision.<\/p>\n<p>Maja Vodanovic uses her canvases to defend her social convictions, to fight for the protection of the environment and to bring more justice in society.<\/p>\n<p>Her portraits illustrate the power of individuals to carry their vision to reality. Maja invites us to read her work as acts or attitudes we can appropriate in trying to improve life in the City.<\/p>\n<p>True revolution starts on the canvas. There power to change the world is not an utopia. It gives reality a new breath, it provides a new frame for it, the frame of justice, integrity and altruism.<\/p>\n<p>Maja Vodanovic&#8217;s art has a social function; to raise awareness and to be at the service of hope. Through her works, Maja Vodanovic reminds us that whoever we may be, politician, businessperson, artist or ordinary citizen, we share in the same responsibility: to carry the beauty of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The opening of Maja Vodanovic&#8217;s exhibition will take place on Thursday September 25th, at 6:00PM at the Mus\u00e9e Marc-Aur\u00e8le Fortin, 118, Saint-Pierre street, in Old Montreal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicole Blouin Press Release, Marc-Aur\u00e8le Fortin Museum Montreal, from September 25 until 28, 2003 &#8211;
