According to the exhibition curator, the Franciscan Museum and Gallery Gorica-Livno keeps Gabriel Jurkić's daily notes in its collection, and about 6,000 drawings, sketches, and quick studies are stored in the art collection at Gorica.

In collaboration with the Franciscan Museum and Gallery Gorica-Livno, the Museum of the Franciscan Monastery in Tolisa, "Vrata Bosne," will host an exhibition of the Livno artist Gabriel Jurkić titled "Artist - Draws - Dedication" from February 22 to March 19. The exhibition will feature his drawings from his early student years, from 1906, until 1960, when he ceased painting due to loss of sight.

Gabriel Jurkić is one of the most distinctive representatives of symbolism, late Art Nouveau, and post-impressionism in the painting of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. As stated by the Franciscan Museum and Gallery Gorica, in his constant search for harmony, Gabriel Jurkić paid tribute to existence through his works, and it is through occasional exhibitions that his life and work are honored.

"The drawing section of Gabriel Jurkić's work is significant not only because of the scope of his artistic records, but also because it reveals an inexhaustible source of Jurkić’s creative inventiveness. Although the motives are subordinated to realistic expression, with various drawing variations, he created interesting artistic expressions and gave poetic chords to his vision," said the exhibition curator Željka Markov.// FENA
