Notes on the Paintings

Five of Ivan's paintings have been studied closely by Brittany Ober. Her notes look at how each picture was made, what it shows, and how it connects to Ivan's life: the village he lost, the war, Salzburg and America.

How to use this page: click any painting below to open its notes. Each note begins with the painting and its story; then "Viewing the Piece" guides your eye around the canvas. Use the links at the foot of each note to move on to the next one.
