Kosta Strajnić: from Križevci to Dubrovnik

Nikola Ostojčić ; Križevci, Croatia

Abstract

Kosta (Konstantin) Strajnić was born in Križevci in 1887, and died in Dubrovnik in 1977. He was an art historian, conservator, art critic and patron. At first, he adhered to the national romantic current of our contemporary art, which advocates a national style enforceable on the basis of Yugoslav unification but later swayed toward colouristic painting, talent and “pure art”. He gathered young artistic talents and endeavoured to build the Dubrovnik art scene.
