Oscar Nemon
Sažetak
The Croatian-born sculptor Oscar Nemon (1906- 1985) lived and worked in Vienna, Bruxelles and England. His career as a sculptor begun in Bruxelles in 1925 where he participated in modern and avant-garde currents. At the outbreak of World War Two, Nemon took refuge in England, leaving behind his modernist legacy, with the exception of his project for the Centre of Universal Ethics (1938). Meeting with Sir Winston Churchill in 1950 led to friendship and a series of portraits and monuments. In this paper I will assess the significance of Churchill’s friendship for Nemon’s further work in England and outline Nemon’s wider role and contribution to art in war time and post-war Britain.
