Biography photo for Ivan Mestrovic
Provided by Ivan Mestrovic Foundation
 Ivan Mestrovic spent his childhood in Otavice, a poor village of Dalmatinska Zagora.  He also spent a year (1900) as an apprentice in Harald Bilinic's stonemason's workshop in Split and then went to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (1901-1906), just as the secession movement was reaching its peak.

Ivan Mestrovic's style changed several times, and he engaged in many activities: he was a sculptor, the author of several architectonic and literary works, and a participant in important political events.  The young Mestrovic was affirmed as an artist between 1903 and 1910, through his group exhibitions with the Vienna Secession* group of artists.  Most of his early works were highly symbolic such as The Fountain of Life, 1905.

In 1908, Mestrovic hired an atelier* in Paris and there he created his epically emphatic works.  Myth and symbol were important elements not only of the national, but also of the European spiritual climate, especiallwww.mdc.hr (Ivan Mestrovic Museums)
