History
The Hlebine village (technically just over the border in Podravina, easily paired with Međimurje) is the birthplace of the Croatian Naïve Art movement — Ivan Generalić and Krsto Hegedušić painted on glass here in the 1930s. The excellent Hlebine Gallery displays their work in situ.
“Hlebine's painters used glass canvases painted in reverse — a technique borrowed from village religious icons and turned into a whole national art movement.”
