Jure Stanić Darak rođen je u Lokvi Rogoznici 1928. godine. Izradom skulptura i reljefa u drvu počeo se baviti u poznijim godinama života, nakon odlaska u mirovinu. Njegova zbirka u GM Omiš čini 170 izvornih umjetničkih skulptura, reljefa i portreta. Najupečatljivije su skulpture, koje prikazuju scene iz života dalmatinskog težaka pri krčenju zemlje, obradi vinove loze i masline, kao lovca, pastira, pčelara, bačvara, opančara, igrača šijavice .., ženu kako obrađuje vunu, pere rublje, frega pod, momunja bob… Osim umjetničke, njegovo djelo ima dokumentarno-etnografsku vrijednost, budući da su likovi prikazani u tradicijskom ruhu, a zajednička odlika im je realističan prikaz seoskog života prve polovine 20. st. na prostoru autorovog zavičaja.
The Jure Stanić Darak Collection
Jure Stanić Darak was born in Lokva Rogoznica in 1928. He began making reliefs and wooden statues later in life, after retiring. His collection at the Omiš City Museum consists of 170 original reliefs, statues and portraits. The most impressive are the statues, showing the life of a Dalmatian farmer clearing his land, cultivating his vines and olive trees, as hunter, shepherd, beekeeper, cooper, shoemaker, player of the Morra finger guessing game (šijavica), a woman making wool, washing the laundry, scrubbing the floor, shelling fava beans,.. Apart from an intrinsic artistic merit, his work can boast an added documentary and ethnographic value, since the characters are depicted in traditional attire, and their common feature is a realistic portrayal of rural life in the first half of the 20th century, in the area of the author’s birth place.
