About this audio guide
This guide to the Croatian Museum of Naïve Art in Zagreb follows Ivan Generalić, a peasant boy from Hlebine who drew on the paper the family's food came wrapped in. It centres on one small painting from nineteen thirty-four: a village yard, a cow, and tax collectors arriving with police. The winter pig slaughter and hay forked to hungry animals turn up too, in the village scenes he painted.
