Artist's short biography
Menci Clement Crnčić
Croatian painter, printmaker, teacher and museum director, of Austrian birth. He was the first artist in the Croatian graphic tradition to abandon a strictly linear style and use tonal variation to create contrasting areas of light and shade. He first established himself as a marine artist with a series of paintings of the Istrian peninsula and the Adriatic coast. In 1903, with the painter Bela Cikos-Sesija (1864-1931), he opened the first private painting school in Zagreb, which eventually developed into the Academy of Fine Arts. He taught there until the end of his life. He became a member of the Yugoslav Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1919 and was the Director of the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters from 1920 to 1928. He died in Zagreb in 1930.
