Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Exhibition of the Works of Ivan Mestrovic
We heard that Ivan Mestrovie the sculptor, who, with the assistance of some Serbian associates and pupils, had designed and modelled the statuary, was still a young man in the early thirties, and that 'the pavilion, statuary and paintings were all the work of a body of young serbo-croat artists gathered from Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Dalmatia, to work together under the ?ag of Serbia and the leadership of Mestrovic - a national efi'ort inspired by a single fury of national memories and aspirations that is without parallel in modern art. It had a burning spirit within it that seemed to throb and gesture through these forms-as a tempest speaks through the new and fantastic shapes it gives to the trees in its grasp, or the announcements of the tongues and crowns of ?ame in a forest confiagration.
