"Sold Price: LOJZE DOLINAR (1893-1970): A LARGE BRONZE BUST OF JOSIP BROZ, GENERAL TITO DATED 1948 signed to one side 'DOLINAR 1948' and inscribed to the other in Serbian cyrillic 'PLASTICA BEOGRAD', 80cm wide x 60cm high Provenance: By repute, at the Yugoslav Embassy until the disintegration of Yugoslavia. The Embassy donated the bust to the Yugoslav Club in London, the present owners acquired the bust upon its closure. Lojze Dolinar is now widely considered to be one of the most important Slovenian sculptors of the 20th century. He studied at the Viennese academy under Professor Mullner and then furthered his studies in 1912 in Munich. By 1920 he was studying in New York under Hoffman and upon his return to Europe he built a reputation for designing and producing public monumental sculpture. For example the memorial to Dr. Janez Evangelist Krek, two Calvary monuments in Ljubljana, and the monument of fallen student-soldiers in Skopje. In 1946 he joined the Belgrade Fine Arts Academy, and produced this bust the year after, before gaining a professorship in 1949. This bronze is typical of his style which unites the realistic depiction of the sitter with a modernist treatment of the surface. - September 3, 0118 2:00 PM BST". invaluable.com.
