The founders of modern Macedonian painting included Lazar
Licenovski, Nikola Martinoski, Dimitar Pandilov and Vangel Kodzoman. They were
succeeded by an exceptionally talented and fruitful generation, consisting of
Borka Lazeski, Dimitar Kondovski, Petar Mazev and many others who are still
active. Vasko Taskovski's work was presented to the Paris public in 1992 with an
imposing exhibition and auction of about 100 works. Vangel Naumovski, who was
long classified by art historians as a Naive artist, is well-known for his
Ohridska Porta Gallery, as well as for the original world of his paintings.

In addition to Dimo Todorovski, who is considered to be
the founder of modern Macedonian sculpture, the works of Petar Hadzi Boskov,
Boro Mitrikeski and Tome Serafimovski are also outstanding. The Museum of
Contempory Art and the Art Gallery in the Daut Pasha Baths are considered the
best galleries. In 1993 there were 413 exhibitions attracting about 240,000
visitors. There were also 12 artists' colonies with some 120 participants, of
whom 40 were foreign painters and sculptors.
