Sažetak
One of the most important Croatian sculptors of the twentieth century, Ivan Meštrović (1883- 1962), built his sculptural affirmation and visibility extensively, that is beyond the borders of his homeland. The initial location of his international artistic success was Vienna, a city where he completed formal academic education, but was active participant in Secession exhibitions. His solo performance at Vienna Secession in 1910 would become the lower mark of the period to be observed in this case study, extended to the end of the First World War and the artist's return to Croatia. In the focus of the analysis are Ivan Mestrovic's social connections, also presented through the visualization of his personal network, based on data collected form monographs on his art and life, from his memoirs, and from personal correspondence. Kept at the Atelier Meštrović in Zagreb, the correspondence allowed for the precise identification of the main actors in his personal network, and of the role they have played in Meštrović's private life and artistic career. Network extends beyond cultural, and artistic milieu, encompassing persons from the political life, due to Mestrovic's pronounced political activism during WWI. Particular attention will be payed to relation between time Meštrović spent at certain geo-locations, a topography of his personal network generated at that location, and its professional composition. The other network layer of our interest is one pointing to the dissemination of the information on his work through art criticism, and other articles published in specialised magazines and newspapers.
