The Collaboration of Photographer Vjekoslav Cvetišić with Sculptors ‒ From Design to Realization of the Sculpture

Abstract

This work aims to bring attention to a previously unexplored aspect of the photographer Vjekoslav Cvetišić’s work. The focus is on his collaboration with Croatian sculptors Ivan Meštrović, Antun Augustinčić and Fran Kršinić in the 1920s and 1930s. The collaboration was discovered through research of archival material, the photo archives of the Meštrović Atelier and periodicals of the time. The canon of Cvetišić’s work was established by comparing photographs.
