Dusan Djamonja belongs to the main trend of 20th century sculpture
which took form after the Second World War, following from the
expressionist and confused tradition of Mestrovic, Freundlich and
Epstein, and which coincided with the re-examination of the meaning
of sculpture, Jasia Reichardt says in the monograph's foreword.
Evaluating the artist in Resume, art historian Radovan Ivancevic
says Djamonja's work is personal, unique and irreplaceable as it
imbues all pores of the art of sculpting, from structure and
technique to complex monuments of urban dimensions, and will last
in time.
Djamonja was born in Strumica, Macedonia, in 1928. He attended
primary and three years of secondary school in Zagreb, between 1934
and 1941. He graduated at the Zagreb Academy of Visual Arts in
1951.
He has won several awards and held several solo and group
exhibitions in Croatia and abroad.
