An unknown "Bather" by Vojin Bakić

Tonko Maroević ; Institut za povijest umjetnosti

Abstract

The family of Vojin Bakić's university colleagues, A.Šojat and M. Bošnjak, has in its possession a plaster cast of a female nude authored by Bakic. It was executed in stone (or marble) and subsequently destroyed in 1956 when the artist's atelier caught fire. So far, the sculpture has never been either registered or displayed, and it deserves attention for the imminent values of its form — its conciseness and the purity of modelling, but also for the fact that very few works from Bakic's formative phase have been preserved. By comparing the east with similar works of art, the author concludes that it is one of the "Bathers" and that it dates back to the beginning of the 40's.
