藝苑掇英 Ivan Mestrovic 伊万·梅斯特羅維奇 (1883-1962) Impressionism Secession Croatian
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Ivan Meštrović (Croatian: [ǐʋan mɛ̂ʃtrɔʋit͡ɕ] ( listen); Vrpolje, 15 August 1883 - South Bend, 16 January 1962) was a renowned Croatian sculptor, architect and writer of the 20th century.
He was the most prominent sculptor of Croatian modern sculpture and a leading personality of artistic life in Zagreb. He studied at the Pavle Bilinić's Stone Workshop in Split and at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, where he was formed under the influence of the Secession. He traveled throughout Europe and studied the works of ancient and Renaissance masters, especially Michelangelo, and French sculptors A. Rodin, A. Bourdelle and A. Maillola. He was the initiator of the national-romantic group Medulić (he advocated the creation of art of national features inspired by the heroic folk songs). During the First World War, he lived in emigration. After the war, he returned to Croatia and began a long and fruitful period of sculpture and pedagogical work. In 1942 he emigrated to Italy, in 1943 to Switzerland and in 1947 to the United States. He was a professor of sculpture at the Syracuse University and from 1955 at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.
Most of his early works of symbolic themes were formed in the spirit of the Secession, some of which, like the Well of Life, show impressionist restless surfaces created under the influence of Rodin's naturalism, and the second, reviving national myth, become stylized monumental plastics (Kosovo cycle, 1908-1910). Before the First World War, he left pathetic epic stylization, expressing increasingly emotional states, as evidenced by the wooden reliefs of biblical themes made in a combination of Archaic, Gothic, Secessionist and Expressionist styles. During the 1920s and 1930s, the classical component prevailed in his works. In this period, he created a number of public monuments of strong plastic expression, pronounced and legible shapes (Grgur Ninski and Marko Marulić in Split, Andrija Medulić, Andrija Kačić-Miošić and Josip Juraj Strossmayer in Zagreb, The Bowman and The Spearman in Chicago). Portraits take a special place in his opus.
Meštrović achieved works of strong plastic value in the construction-sculptural monuments and projects, mostly with central layout (the Mausoleum of the Račić family in Cavtat, the Mausoleum of the Meštrović family in Otavice, the Meštrović Pavilion in Zagreb, Monument to the Unknown Hero in Belgrade). He also designed a memorial church of King Zvonimir in Biskupija near Knin inspired by old Croatian churches, a representative family palace, today the Ivan Meštrović Gallery, and reconstructed renaissance fortified mansion Crikvine-Kaštilac in Split.
He was born in Vrpolje, Slavonia, and spent his childhood in the small Dalmatian village of Otavice, the native place of his parents in the Dinaric Alps. His father was a poor peasant and sheep-breeder. At the age of sixteen he was accepted as an apprentice by Pavle Blinić, a master of a stonemasonry in Split.
His artistic skills were improved by studying the monumental buildings in the city and his education at the hands of Bilinić's wife, who was a high-school teacher. Soon, they found a mine owner from Vienna who paid for Meštrović to move there and be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts where he studied under Edmund von Hellmer and Otto Wagner. Quickly he had to learn German from scratch and adjust to the new environment, but he persevered and successfully finished his studies.
伊万·梅斯特羅維奇 Ivan Meštrović（克羅地亞語：[ǐʋanmɛʃtrɔʋit͡ɕ]（聽）; Vrpolje，1883年8月15日 - 南本德，1962年1月16日）是克羅地亞著名的雕塑家，20世紀的建築師和作家。
他是克羅地亞現代雕塑最傑出的雕塑家，也是薩格勒布藝術生活的主要人物。他曾在斯普利特的PavleBilinić的石頭工作室和維也納美術學院學習，在那裡他是在分裂國家的影響下成立的。他走遍了整個歐洲，研究了古代和文藝復興時期大師的作品，特別是米開朗基羅和法國雕塑家A.羅丹，A。布爾德勒和A. Maillola。他是國家浪漫主義組織Medulić的發起者（他主張創作受英雄民歌啟發的民族特色藝術）。在第一次世界大戰期間，他住在移民局。戰爭結束後，他回到了克羅地亞，開始了漫長而富有成效的雕塑和教學工作。 1942年，他移民到意大利，1943年移民到瑞士，1947年移民到美國。他曾在錫拉丘茲大學擔任雕塑教授，並於1955年在印第安納州南本德的聖母大學擔任雕塑教授。
他早期的象徵主題作品大多是以分離主義的精神形成的，其中一些像生命之井一樣，展現了在羅丹的自然主義影響下創造的印象派不安分的表面，以及第二個複興的民族神話，成為風格化的紀念碑塑料（科索沃週期，1908-1910）。在第一次世界大戰之前，他留下了可憐的史詩風格，表達了越來越多的情感狀態，聖經主題的木製浮雕在古代，哥特，分離主義和表現主義風格的組合中得到了證明。在20世紀20年代和30年代，經典組成部分在他的作品中佔了上風。在此期間，他創作了許多具有強烈塑料表現力，明顯易讀形狀的公共紀念碑（斯普利特的Grgur Ninski和MarkoMarulić，AndrijaMedulić，AndrijaKačić-Miošić和薩格勒布的Josip Juraj Strossmayer，芝加哥的Bowman和The Spearman ）。肖像在他的作品中佔有特殊的位置。
M梅斯特羅維奇在建築-雕塑紀念碑和項目中獲得了極具塑料價值的作品，大多采用中央佈局（Cavtat的Račić家族陵墓，Otavice的Meštrović家族陵墓，薩格勒布的Meštrović亭子，未知英雄紀念碑）在貝爾格萊德）。他還在Knin附近的Biskupija設計了一個紀念教堂Zvonimir紀念教堂，靈感來自古老的克羅地亞教堂，一個代表性的家庭宮殿，今天的IvanMeštrović畫廊，以及斯普利特重建的文藝復興時期的強化宅邸Crikvine-Kaštilac。
他出生在斯拉沃尼亞的Vrpolje，並在他的父母在迪納里斯阿爾卑斯山的家鄉Otavice的小達爾馬提亞村度過了他的童年。他的父親是一個貧窮的農民和養羊人。在十六歲時，他被斯普利特的一個石匠大師PavleBlinić接受為學徒。
通過研究城市中的紀念性建築以及Bilinić的妻子（他是一名高中教師）的教育，他的藝術技巧得到了提高。很快，他們找到了一位來自維也納的礦主，他為Meštrović付錢搬到那裡，並在Edmund von Hellmer和Otto Wagner的指導下進入美術學院。很快，他必須從零開始學習德語並適應新環境，但他堅持不懈並成功完成學業。

Zagreb ( ZAH-greb, Croatian pronunciation: [zǎːɡreb] (listen)) is the capital and the largest city of Croatia. It is located in the northwest of the country, along the Sava river, at the southern slopes of the Medvednica mountain. Zagreb lies at an elevation of approximately 122 m (400 ft) above sea level.
The estimated population of the city in 2018 is 810,003. The population of the Zagreb urban agglomeration is about 1.1 million, approximately a quarter of the total population of Croatia.
Zagreb is a city with a rich history dating from the Roman times to the present day. The oldest settlement located in the vicinity of the city was the Roman Andautonia, in today's Ščitarjevo. The name Zagreb is recorded in 1134, in reference to the foundation of the settlement at Kaptol in 1094. Zagreb became a free royal town in 1242. In 1851 Zagreb had its first mayor, Janko Kamauf.
Zagreb has special status as a Croatian administrative division and is a consolidated city-county (but separated from Zagreb County), and is administratively subdivided into 17 city districts. Most of them are at a low elevation along the river Sava valley, whereas northern and northeastern city districts, such as Podsljeme and Sesvete districts are situated in the foothills of the Medvednica mountain, making the city's geographical image rather diverse. The city extends over 30 kilometres (19 miles) east-west and around 20 kilometres (12 miles) north-south.The transport connections, concentration of industry, scientific, and research institutions and industrial tradition underlie its leading economic position in Croatia. Zagreb is the seat of the central government, administrative bodies, and almost all government ministries. Almost all of the largest Croatian companies, media, and scientific institutions have their headquarters in the city. Zagreb is the most important transport hub in Croatia where Central Europe, the Mediterranean and Southeast Europe meet, making the Zagreb area the centre of the road, rail and air networks of Croatia. It is a city known for its diverse economy, high quality of living, museums, sporting, and entertainment events. Its main branches of economy are high-tech industries and the service sector.
