Kompozicija fotoslike U drugoj polovici dvadesetoga stolje}a Rijeka je bila zna~ajno fotografsko sredi{te nekada{nje Jugoslavije. Prvih desetlje}a poslijeratnoga razdoblja me|u najistaknutijim je novim protagonistima rije~ke fotografske scene mladi Ervin Debeuc. U Rijeci, jo{ suo~enoj s posljedicama te{kih ratnih razaranja, pedesete su godine pro{loga stolje}a vrijeme obnove i izgradnje u okrilju novoga dru{tvenoga ustroja – jugoslavenskoga socijalizma. Velik broj rije~kih fotografa iz me|uratnog razdoblja nastavlja tada svoje djelovanje, najistaknutiji me|u njima prenose}i novoj generaciji umije}e fotografske tehnike i umjetni~ka htijenja na liniji modernizma.1 Prve generacije poratnih fotografa stasale su u amaterskim fotoklubovima, posvema u duhu kulture kolektivizma. Razgranata mreà fotoamaterskoga pokreta u jugoslavenskim sredi{tima sudionicima je omogu}avala prije svega edukativnu i djelatnu potporu, za ve}inu jedini na~in bavljenja fotografijom u dru{tvenoj klimi egzistencijalnih prioriteta.2 Uspore|uju}i pak rije~ku, odnosno hrvatsku i jugoslavensku fotografiju sa suvremenom me|unarodnom scenom, o~igledne su koncepcijske podudarnosti koje i tada potvr|uju pluralizam ovoga medija kao jednu od poveznica me|u oponentima, ideolo{ki i politi~ki podijeljenim stranama.3 I Ervin Debeuc je svoju karijeru amatera fotografa zapo~eo unutar klupskoga ìvota poslijeratnih godina pa je zanatsku vje{tinu u~io od generacije rije~kih fotografa me|uratnoga doba, prije svih Fernanda Soprana, potom Igora Emilija i Abdona Smokvine.4 No nije bila rije~ samo o prijenosu i usvajanju métiera, ve}, u poratnom vremenu, o prakti~nim i pragmati~nim razlozima, ponajprije o kori{tenju i nabavi fotoaparata i druge fotografske opreme, koji su ve}ini onda{njih amaterskih fotografa bili nedostupni, a i sami su ih fotoklubovi nerijetko nabavljali dovitljivo{}u i entuzijazmom („Soprano nam je svima nabavljao fotoaparate, najvi{e otkupljuju}i ih od stranaca koji su dolazili u Jugu“, E. Debeuc). Debeuc je u po~etku snimao fotoaparatima ruske proizvodnje lajka-formata filma, a potom njema~kim Rolleiflexom (veli~ina negativa 6 x 6 cm) i ~e{kim Flexaretom (veli~ina negativa 6 x 9 cm i 6 x 6 cm). Potkraj 1950-ih zagreba~ka je tvornica Fotokemika znatno pro{irila asortiman proizvodnje, posebno novim kemikalijama za obradu i raznim filtrima te postala glavni opskrbljiva~ fotomaterijalima u regiji.5 U takvu se okruènju razvijao Debeuc fotograf, izrazito se pridràvaju}i ~isto}e fotografske tehnike, kao ovjere ispravnosti pristupa slici („Stalno su nas u~ili da na fotografiji crno mora biti crno, bijelo bijelo, a sivo sivo“, E. Debeuc). Pristup fotografiji, ponajprije s njezinih medijskih predispozicija, pribliìo ga je paradigmi Andréa Bazina o objektivnosti fotografije determinirane tehnikom, optikom fotoaparata.6 Fotografija ga zanima kao medij vlastite izraàjnosti, koji ima svoj racionalan i objektivan vizualni jezik zasnovan na dva elementa – kompoziciji i svjetlu. „Meni je najva`nija bila kompozicija“, uvijek }e istaknuti, a glavni kriterij prema kojemu pojedine fotografije nisu u{le u postav izlo`be bio je njihov dekomponiraju}i segment. Njega je lako detektirati jer je ravnoteà Debeucova kadra naj~e{}e sna`no kontrapunktirana, kao u oglednoj slici Detalj (1960.) koja upu}uje na omiljeno kadriranje detalja i krupnih planova. Analogno, jasno}u primjenjuje i u tretmanu svjetla koje ne gubi svoje granice ni u banalnim motivima, bilo kao vr{nih odbljesaka (Geranij, 1960.) ili sjena na neravnomjernoj podlozi (Zimski san / Zima u @urkovu, 1956.), niti u difuznom nestajanju (Semafor, 1955.). Jaki crno-bijeli kontrasti i motivi izrazito pak podsje}aju na poetiku ameri~kog filma noir (redatelji F. Lang, J. Huston, R. Walsh, B. Wilder), potvr|uju}i propusnost onda{njih granica za suvremenu zapadnja~ku umjetnost i otklon od umjetnosti socrealizma 1950-ih godina. Postizanje èljenih u~inaka dodatno je mogao kontrolirati jer je cijeli proces realizacije crno-bijele slike izvodio sam, od snimanja do razvijanja, stje~u}i sve ve}e iskustvo u radu s fotomaterijalima i u razvijanju fotografije. Do kakvih je rezultata pritom dolazio, vidljivo je na fotografijama uzbibane morske povr{ine s odrazima ili zrcaljenjem okoline, koje strukturom podsje}aju na slikarstvo i, dalekovidno, na animiranu kompjutorsku grafiku (Vizija, 1956., Geometrija, 1959.).

dio }e se te neposredne procesualnosti izgubiti jer se, zbog visokih cijena, filmovi sada {alju na razvijanje proizvo|a~u, odnosno distributeru. Debeuc je rado isku{avao razli~ite postupke u fotografiji, bilo samo izrezima ili pak rade}i fotograme i eksperimentiraju}i sa sendvi~-negativima, od kojih najuspjeliji podraàvaju slikarsku fakturu (Impresija, 1959., SF cvijet, 1959.). Iako ga je kao nadarenog crta~a poratna oskudica odvratila od studija slikarstva, slikarski se senzibilitet odrazio na fotografijama. Atmosfera njegovih zimskih i morskih pejzaà i snje`nih prizora uz odsutnost ~ovjeka slikanih objektivnom kamerom, posjeduje tektoniku i smirenu bezvremenost kakve susre}emo na pejzaìma slikara europskoga sjevera.

Opus Ervina Debeuca, poput drugih zna~ajnih fotografa, do sada nije nai{ao na valorizaciju u slu`benim klasifikacijama povijesti hrvatske fotografije ne toliko gre{kom prire|iva~a i selektora ili zbog dominacije zagreba~ke fotografije, koliko zbog nedostatka aktualizacije ove važne baštinske teme u ishodi{nim sredinama.7 Izravan povod ove izlo`be bila je autorova donacija iz 2010. godine kojom je Muzeju grada Rijeke darovao sedamdeset svojih fotografija datiranih od 1955. do 1962. godine. Nepuno je desetlje}e od sredine 1950-ih do po~etka 1960-ih najplodnije fotografsko razdoblje Ervina Debeuca u kojem se pretežno bavi crno-bijelom fotografijom i u mladoj dobi snima fotografije potpune medijske dore~enosti, tehni~ke i sadr`ajne. Me|u doniranim je crno-bijelim fotografijama tridesetak reprezentabilnih, prvenstveno zbog njihove kreativne autenti~nosti i izvornosti, ostvarenih tipiziranom opremom i industrijskim standardima u kontekstu svoga vremena.

Composition of a photopicture In the second half of the 20th century, Rijeka was an important centre of photography in the former Yugoslavia. In the early decades of the post-war period the most prominent amongst the new protagonists of Rijeka’s photographic scene was Debeuc. In the 1950s Rijeka still faced the consequences of heavy war damage, during the regeneration and construction under the auspices of a new social structure – Yugoslavian socialism. A large number of Rijeka’s photographers from the between war period continued their work, the foremost amongst them transferring to the new generati on of artistic photographic the techniques and artistic aspirations along modern lines.1 The first generation of post-war photographers grew up in amateur photography clubs, wholly in the spirit of cultural collectivism. A wide network of participants in amateur photography movements in Yugoslavian centres ensured the primary educational and operational support, for most the only way of being involved with photography in the social climate of existential priorities.2 Comparing although Rijeka apropos Croatian and Yugoslavian photography with the contemporary international scene, the conceptual similarities are apparent which at that time confirm the pluralism of the medium as one of the links between the opponents, ideologically and politically divided sides.3 Ervin Debeuc started his career as an amateur photographer in the club atmosphere of the post-war years and he learnt his craft from generations of Rijeka photographers from the interwar period, first of all Fernando Soprano, then Igor Emili, Abdona Smokvina.4 However it was not only about the transfer and adoption of métier, but also, during the post-war period, about practical and pragmatic reasons, notably about the use and supply of photographic cameras and other photographic equipment. Most of it was unavailable to the amateur photographers at that time, and they were only rarely acquired by photography clubs due to their resourcefulness and enthusiasm (“Soprano got hold of cameras for everyone, mainly by buying them up from foreigners who arrived in Yugoslavia”, E. Debeuc). Debeuc began to take photographs with Russian-made Laika format of film, and then with the German Rolleiflex (6x6 cm sized negatives) and the Czech Flexaret (6x9 cm and 6x6 cm sized negatives). At the end of the 1950s the Zagreb factory Fotokemika greatly expanded its range of products, especially the new chemicals for processing and various filters, and so became the main supplier of photographic material in the region.5 In this environment Debeuc developed as a photographer, distinctly adhering to pure photographic techniques, as an endorsement to the integrity to the approach of pictures (“We are constantly taught that in photography black must be black, white, white and grey, grey”, E. Debeuc). The approach to photography primarily with its predisposition as a medium came close to the paradigms of André Bazin about the objectivity of photography determined by the technical, optics of photographic cameras.6 Photography interested him as a medium of one’s expression, which has its own rational and objective visual language based on two elements – composition and light. “For me composition was the most important”, he will always emphasise, and the main criterion by which each individual photographer is not entered into the collections of exhibitions is their deconstructing part. It is easy to detect because of the balance of Debeuc’s frame is most frequently strongly counterbalanced, as in the sample picture Detail (1960), which shows his favoured framed details and close-ups. Analogously, clarity is also applied in the treatment of light which does not lose its boundaries even in the banal motifs, as was a peak of reflection (Geranium, 1960) or shadows on uneven surfaces (Winter Sleep / Winter in @urkovo, 1956), or in the diffusion of disappearance (Traffic Light, 1955). Strong black and white contrasts and the motifs distinctly reminiscent of poetic American film noir (directors F. Lang, J. Huston, R. Walsh, B. Wilder), confirming the penetration of the then contemporary Western art and variation of artistic social realism of the 1950s.

In achieving the desired results he was additionally able to control because the whole implementation process of black and white pictures he did himself, from shooting till developing, gaining greater experience in the work with photographic materials and developing the photographs. In doing so, this kind of result became visible in the photographs of the swelling sea surface with reflections or mirroring of the environment, which is a structure reminiscent of that of painting and, with foresight, to animated computer graphics (Vision, 1956, Geometry, 1959). With the transition to colour photography the part of self-processing would be immediately lost due high prices, films would now be sent to developing producers, and distributors. Debeuc readily attempted various photographic procedures, even just cut-outs, or even making photograms and experimenting with sandwich-negatives, of which the most successful portrayed artistic factors (Impression, 1959, SF Flower, 1959). Although as a talented draughtsman post-war hardships prevented him from studying painting, his artistic sensibilities were reflected in his photographs. The atmosphere of his winter and seascapes and snow scenes with the absence of people shot with an objective camera, possess tectonic and a timelessness which we meet in the landscapes of North European painters.

The opus of Ervin Debeuc, like other important photographers, to date has not yet been encountered in the evaluation of the official classification of the history of Croatian photography, not so much the fault of the organisers or selectors or due to the domination of photography from Zagreb, but primarily the lack of the actualisation of these important heritage themes in the source areas.7 The direct motive for this exhibition was the author’s donations from 2010 of seventy of his own photographs dating from 1955 to 1962 which he gave to the Museum of the City of Rijeka. The years from the mid1950s to the start of the 1960s was Ervin Debeuc’s most productive photographic period in which he was heavily involved in black and white photography and when at a young age he took photographs for the overall media explicitly, technically and substantially. Amongst the donated photographs are some thirty, representative primarily due to their creative authenticity and originality, created with the actual equipment and industrial standards in the context of their time.

Obrazovao se usporedno s radom, promijeniv{i vi{e poslova u mla|im danima. Prvi studentski dèparac zaradio je u Jadran filmu, u odjelu za dokumentarni film, potom radi kao novinar u Novom listu i na Radio Rijeci, a na poziv Viktora Hreljanovi}a, propagandista u Brodogradili{tu 3. maj, postaje urednik tvorni~kog lista Brodograditelj. Nakon toga prelazi u Luku Rijeka za urednika Vjesnika, {efa propagande i glasnogovornika pa se opet vra}a na Radio Rijeku. Osnivanjem rije~kog dopisni{tva Zagreba~ke televizije, dana{nje Hrvatske televizije, zapo{ljava se 1961., isprva honorarno, a od 1969. radi kao profesionalni TV snimatelj do umirovljenja 1991. Za fotografiju se po~eo zanimati 1947. u fotosekciji tada{njega Sindikalnog kulturnoumjetni~kog dru{tva Jedinstvo. ^lanom Fotokluba Rijeka, koji se tada zvao Klub foto i kino amatera Rijeka, postaje 1954. Suosniva~ je Fotokluba Color 1961. i Kinokluba Rijeka, danas Kino video kluba Liburnija film, unutar kojega 1960-ih osniva Centar za kinodokumentaciju, prete~u digitalizacije i arhiviranja audiovizualnog gradiva. Aktivan je sudionik kinoamaterizma, me|u ostalim 1969. pokre}e KRAF, Kvarnersku reviju amaterskih filmova me|unarodnog zna~enja, te Zajednice tehni~ke kulture, nekada{nje Narodne tehnike. Najplodnije fotografsko razdoblje su mu pedesete i rane {ezdesete godine pro{loga stolje}a, kada se vi{e okre}e filmu, u po~etku eksperimentalnom, a poslije ga najvi{e zanima dokumentarni film.

BIOGRAPHY

Ervin Debeuc, a photographer, journalist, TV and film cameraman and director, was born on 28 April 1930 in Su{ak, where he attended primary school and graduated from the First Su{ak Croatian Gymnasium. He studied economics in Zagreb and law in Rijeka and finished the Higher School of Journalism in Zagreb (1950 – 1953). In 1974 he enrolled in camera studies at the Academy of Theater and Film Arts in Zagreb as a non-degree student, but then moved in the last semester to the Faculty of Dramatic Arts (theater, film, radio and television) in Belgrade, where he passed all the exams except for the final diploma. He worked all through his studies and changed several jobs in his young years. He earned his first student pocket money at Jadran film’s section for documentary films. Afterwards he worked as a journalist for Novi list and Radio Rijeka when, upon a call from Viktor Hreljanovi}, propagandist at the Third May Shipyard (Brodogradili{te 3. Maj), he became the editor of the factory newspaper Brodograditelj. After that he changed to the Port of Rijeka and became editor of Vjesnik, chief of propaganda and spokesman, and then went back to Radio Rijeka. When Zagreb Television, today’s Croatian Radiotelevision, opened a studio in Rijeka he started working there in 1961 on a fee basis and in 1969 as a professional TV cameraman. He stayed there until his retirement in 1991. He got interested in photography in 1947 at the photo section of the Union’s Culture and Arts Association Jedinstvo. In 1954 he became a member of the Photo Club Rijeka, which was then called the Club of Photo and Cinema Amateurs of Rijeka. He co-founded the Photo Club Color in 1961 and the Cinema Club Rijeka, today’s cinema of the video club Liburnija film, within which he founded the Center for Cinematic Documentation, a forerunner of digitalization and archiving of audiovisual material. He actively participated in cinematic amateurism and in 1969 founded, among others, the internationally known KRAF, Kvarner Amateur Film Review, and the Associations of Technical Culture, formerly called National Techniques. His most fruitful time as a photographer was in the 1950s and the early 1960s. After that he turned to film, in the beginning to experimental film and later increasingly to documentary films. Even though he intensively worked with photographs only for a short time, he is one of Rijeka’s most distinguished photographers of the decade following the Second World War. He exhibited his work at more than fifty group exhibitions; from 1954 to 1964 he took part in all exhibitions of photography in Yugoslavia as well as in international exhibitions in Lisbon, Warsaw, at the PhotoEurop in 1959 in Paris, in Lausanne and Brussels. In 1955 he exhibited for the first time in Zagreb at the First Exhibition of Amateur Photographers Beginners and immediately received a diploma for the photograph Morning at the Channel. After this he won twenty awards in photography from the club to the international level. He also won a number of social awards and acknowledgements. In 1985 he received, for instance, the Award of the City of Rijeka for his contribution to the development of amateur film, especially for his documentary film on Rijeka’s harbor „Rijeka luka – Luka Rijeka“, in 1995 the Award of Technical Culture of the City of Rijeka and in 2010 the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Croatian Association of Technical Culture.
