Zlatko Sulentic (1893 - 1971)
Zlatko Sulentic
Zlatko Šulentić was a Croatian painter of landscapes and portraits. He was one of the second generation of Croatian modern painters, a follower of the Munich Circle painters. He also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, and began to develop his own version of expressionism and cubism in Croatia, with refined colour harmonies. In his later work Šulentić painted religious motifs, landscapes and city views, but he remained foremost a portrait painter. He taught drawing in school and at the Academy of Fine Arts, Zagreb. He travelled extensively, and published a book "People, Places, Infinity" (Ljudi, krajevi, beskraj). Šulentić is one of the best-known Croatian expressionists. Šulentić was an important figure of the second generation of Croatian Modernism, the creator of a series of iconic works in his own signature style.
