Abstract

The eleven-year acquaintance between the Croatian-American musicologist and composer Dragan Plamenac (1895–1983) and Vinko Zlamalik (1923–1991), director of the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, was likely a decisive factor in Plamenac’s decision to bequeath ten paintings from his collection to the Gallery. This act of donation was commemorated through an exhibition organized by Zlamalik in 1986, which featured the artworks. Notably, Zlamalik’s published biography of Plamenac, which accompanied the exhibition, provides significant and insightful contributions to the scholarly understanding of the life and legacy of the distinguished musicologist.
