Sažetak
Croatian artist Ivan Meštrović (Vrpolje, Croatia, 1883 – South Bend, USA, 1962) was involved in the most important artistic and political events in his homeland during the first half of the 20th century. A student of sculpture and architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (1901–1906), he made his name during his studies and just after that as an artist close to the circles of Rodin and Klimt, and other similar artists of the period. The question of the South Slav identity and of detaching Croatia from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy became an important issue for Meštrović in 1908 after the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since then till the end of the World War I he used the platform of his work and exhibitions to form the utopian political ideas and to construct the imagined Yugoslav histories and in the end the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Although he was the leading artist in the new state he soon became disappointed with the political oppression and the Serbian domination. He used his contacts, for instance those with the Masaryk family, to conduct his own political and cultural diplomacy. Refusing to support the Ustasha regime during the World War II and the communist regime in Yugoslavia, Meštrović opted to leave his country ; first he lived in Italy then in the USA. This paper proposes to give an overview of Meštrović’s artistic, intellectual and political role in the context of turbulent events in Croatia and Central Europe in the first half of the last century.
