We want to show it everywhere where there are no such things, regardless of where this egg will be exhibited, whether in Madrid or New York. In New York, in the middle of Manhattan, one certainly cannot find such beautiful cottages surrounded by vineyards, authentic stone houses, amphitheatres or sea. With our painting we wish to show people what we have in Croatia. " 9. Mid shot: an artist is painting the the top of an Easter egg 10. Tilt up: an Easter egg detail 11.

SOUNDBITE (Croatian): Matea Bublic, voxpop "Croatia has this tradition of painting on eggs for Easter. That can be done in many ways and na�ve painters have shown that is possible to do it in this different manner too. At home we certainly won't have such large eggs in such a beautiful environment. " 27. Wide shot: citizens viewing the Easter egg 28. Wide shot: citizens viewing the Easter egg LEAD IN : Easter is an important time of year in Catholic Croatia. The celebration of the resurrection of Jesus is symbolised by re-birth, in the form of lambs, eggs and flowers typical of spring time. Eggs are often decorated in traditional art forms and in north western Croatia that means na�ve art. STORYLINE: Croatia's large painted eggs are set to become ambassadors for the country, thanks to an initiative by the local tourist board. Fourteen large Easter eggs will travel to thirteen cities around the world. The eggs, painted in the naive style, will adorn squares in several Croatian cities including Zagreb (which has two eggs), Dubrovnik, Varazdin, Krizevci, Durdevac, Bjelovar, Klagenfurt, Budapest, Bratislava, Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and New York. Na�ve art in South East Europe started in the early thirties of the last century in and around the village of Hlebine, in north-western Croatia. Self-taught and "primitive" by definition, naive artists of the so called "Hlebine School" paint landscapes, peasants, cows and roosters. The images may recall the simple renderings of a child or a neolithic cave painting in their innocence and originality. Today this tradition is maintained in Hlebine by some 50 na�ve painters.
