Antun Motika
Antun Motika (30 December 1902 – 13 February 1992) was a Croatian artist. He was an innovative artist, not attached to any particular artistic school or tendency. Motika was a prolific painter, who left behind a great legacy. Although he occasionally painted with oil on canvas, he generally preferred watercolor or gouache, whose application he preceded with a series of preparatory drawings in pencil or charcoal. From 1941 until his retirement in 1961, he worked at the School of Applied Arts in Zagreb, where he taught various courses.

The exhibition has become the main topic of theoretical and ideological discussion among Croatian critics. Biography Motika was one of four ch ...

Weeding with a hoe includes agitating the surface of the soil or cutting foliage from roots, and clearing the soil of old roots and crop residues. Hoes for digging and moving soil are used to harvest root crops such as potatoes. Types There are many kinds of hoes of varied appearances and purposes. Some offer multiple functions, while others have only a singular and specific purpose. There are two general types of hoe: draw hoes for shaping soil, and scuffle hoes for weeding and aerating soil.
