Popis: | The artistic personality of Croatian sculptor Davorin Martin Hotko (Zagreb, 1890 – Zagreb, 1962) has long been neglected, as information on his life is scarce and his sculptural oeuvre remains understudied and underassessed. Hotko was an excellent sculptor of portraits, as was his teacher Rudolf Valdec, himself a Realist. The Glyptotheque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts preserves only four Hotko’s sculptures, while other works were destroyed in 1986. Apart from a short biography, the Fine Arts Archives of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts holds photographs of the sculptor’s lost works, while some ten sculptures belong to his family estate. Hotko taught sculpture in the Zagreb School of Crafts. |
