CROATIA Ivan Mirnik In Croatia, since the latest report published for the Paris FIDEM exhibition, we can be quite satisfied with the results and the development of the medal art. There are a few new promising young students at the Zagreb Art Academy, and some who have recently graduated are developing their styles under the supervision of Damir Matausic. Some of them sent their most recent works to the present FIDEM exhibition in Seixal, together with other, already well-known artists. These artists who are established have continued to make medals, both struck and cast in several metals. And Stjepan Divkovic has continued with his prize medals depicting important archaeologists and numismatists, commissioned by the Croatian Archaeological and Croatian Numismatic Societies. He also made a series of medals for the Pope's third visit to Croatia in 2003. Several subjects in the field of medals have been discussed and published both at home abroad. Much material has been exhibited, thus for instance the five medals Ivan Mestrovic (*1883 +1962) modelled in the United States in the fifties of the 20th century, of which four sets were struck by the Medallic Art Company, now in Dayton (Nevada), and presented by Michael Milkovich, formerly director of the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg (Florida) to the Zagreb Archaeological Museum, the Mestrovic Foundation both in Zagreb and Split and the City Museum of Vukovar in 2003. These medals were exhibited in 2003. At the same Archaeological Museum in 2004t here was a representative exhibition of the medals by Ivo Kerdic (*1881 +1953), from the holdings of the same museum, extending over the entire first floor of the museum. The catalogue contained 115 items, but there were many more medals on show, in most cases two or more specimens of the same medal were exhibited. In July 2002 the Zagreb Archaeological Museum was able to acquire for its numismatic collection one of the last works by Kerdic a plaquette showing Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, made in 1952 to mark her succession to the throne. Strangely enough no medals or plaquettes were exhibited at the Croatian Art Nouveau/Jugendstil/Sezession exhibition at the Arts and Crafts Museum in Zagreb in 2004, although they are plentiful and of high quality. Therefore the Kerdic exhibition was complementary to it in the section with his early medals. One third of all the Kerdić medals have arrived together with the Kopac Collection in 2002. The considerable Kopač Collection, presented by Ana Kopac, the widow of Berislav Kopač its owner, to the Zagreb Archaeological Museum in 2002, covering the Croatian medal of the 20th c. contains 2258 items, of which 1124 are medals and more important badges. The medals have been catalogued in the computer programme NUMIZ (National Museum of Slovenia, Numismatic Cabinet, Ljubljana) and there will be an exhibition of this donation in 2004. The well-known and long-established Croatian painter Dalibor Parac (b. Solin, 1921) surprized everybody a decade ago with his medals. Between May 17 and 29, 2003 an exhibition of 54 bronze, plaster, ivory etc. medals by Dalibor Parac took place at the Galerija Mala, situated on the northern side of Zagreb central Jelačić square. The exhibition catalogue was written by the architect Mladen Pejakovic and the media gave it deserved attention. Two plaquettes made in the twenties of the last century and forty-five medals made in his last years were shown within the frame of a big exibition of the works of another important Croatian painter, Antun Motika (*1902 +1992), held in January and February 2003 at the former Jesuit College, today Clovio Court, in Zagreb. There were many paintings, water colours, prints, caricatures, sculptures, glass objects, experiments in various materials, etc., by this prolific artist, owned by his heirs, shown at this exhibition covering three floors of the building. Kosta Angeli Radovani (*1916 +2002), a sculptor and also medallist was represented on an exhibition of his bequest to the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts, chiefly portrait busts and 27 large medallions with portraits of his contemporaries and great men from Croatian past, all Academy members, in the Palace of the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts in Zagreb (Dec. 2003 – Feb. 2004). The entire medal opus of Brane Crlenjak, except for the medals and plaquettes plundered from his home in 1991 by the enemy troops and civilians, was shown in Vukovar in 2003: the catalogue was written by Bogdan Mesinger. Some medals, chiefly in terracotta by Antun Babic of Vinkovci were published in a monograph edition by Tonko Maroevic of the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts in 2003. Some Croatian historical medals were shown at the Musée national de la Renaissance in Ecouen Castle in France in 2004. There were some medals by Francesco Laurana, described in the catalogue by Sylvie de Turckheim-Pey, and in addition there was a medal of Alfonso of Aragon by Paolo de Ragusio (Pavao Dubrovčanin, Pavko Antojevic) and another 16th c. medal depicting Cardinal Archbishop Thomas Bakocs (Bakac) Erdödy, Primate of Hungary and administrator of the Diocese of Zagreb, by an anonymous Italian master. Medals of the Freemasonic lodge Vigilance (Budnost/Vigilantia) were shown at an exhibition held in Osijek in 2003 and in Zagreb in 2004: one from the 18th century and the other from the early 20th c., struck by A. Belada in Vienna (forty-odd examples shown). A conference on Luciano Laurana (Lucijan Vranjanin) the architect, Francesco Laurana (Franjo Vranjanin) the sculptor and medallist and Filippo de Laurana (Filip Vranjanin) the composer, was held at the Croatian Academy of Science and Arts in Zagreb and the Croatian Museum of Architecture in December 2003. The Croatian sculptor and medallist Ante Orlic (b.1933) died in Zagreb on 4 May 2004. His funeral took place at the Zagreb central cemetery Mirogoj on 7 May 2004 and a requiem mass was held in Zagreb Cathedral on the same day. His medallic oeuvre is relatively small and is chiefly concentrated on religious themes: Our Lady of Sali (1981), the Eucharist Congress in Zadar and neighbouring places (1983). There are also portraits of various bishops (Josip Pavlisic, Archbishop of Rijeka, a medal struck on the occasion of his golden jubilee, 1988/89 ; Antun Mahnic, Bishop of Krk, 50 years from his death, 1970). Orlic also made the prize medal for Stubica Community (1974) and there are also several portraits of the artist's daughter Laura (1978).
