A rare Meštrović sculpture is on the market! You should look up the sculpture of #IvanMeštrović (1883-1962), Rodin’s favorite student and Croatia’s proudest son. Born to a family of peasants in the Croatian hinterlands and trained as a bricklayer, he grad
A rare Meštrović sculpture is on the market! You should look up the sculpture of #IvanMeštrović (1883-1962), Rodin’s favorite student and Croatia’s proudest son. Born to a family of peasants in the Croatian hinterlands and trained as a bricklayer, he gradually rose to the top of the European art market. He became wildly successful - the first living artist to get a solo show at the @metmuseum – among Americans and Western Europeans who were fascinated by his refusal to outgrow his background. He was remarkably indifferent to all the radical and provocative ideals of his avant-garde colleagues, choosing instead to ceaselessly express his longing for the simple life he had in the Balkans. ‘Mother and Child’, shown here behind Rodin’s Kiss at the @winterantiquesshow, is being offered by London’s #BowmanSculpture. #winterantiquesshow #sculpture #arthistory #Croatia #meštrović #masterpiece #parkavenuearmory #contemporaryart #augusterodin #artwatchers_united #artnerd #nycart #antiques #modernart #hrvatska #vizkultura
