still a young and quzte unrecognized sculptor, was awarded
a number of p r izes at bot h Yugoslav and international>no>»c»lc»t co»>petitions. A >alysis of social ci rcumstances
then present i n Yugoslav monumental sculpture, and of
artistic concepts of A»gllstinčić s monuments, is used to
explain the abo> e»:e»tio»eđ successes. By a co>nbination
of the traditianal co»cept of mo»u»>ent whole and realistic-
expressionisl details ai>»ing at >nonu>nentalily, and by the
introductio>r of equeslrian slatue as the composition center,
