Sažetak
Nasta Rojc was a versatile artist who was primarily a painter, but also a graphic artist, sculptor and photographer. Research for this paper focused around her photographs (glass negatives) in the holdings of the Museum of Arts and Crafts. With no additional information, other than they were made by Nasta Rojc, it was necessary to establish time frame of their creation, as well as any other information that might prove of vital importance for experts whose area of interest was Croatian painting in the beginning of the 20th century. Artist’s personal archives archive of documentary photographs (either of her works or her private albums), as well as additional information gathered from private collections and public archives, proved to be useful in determining the date, or just time frame, in which certain paintings were made. Time of creation was confirmed for some of them, but others had to be set in an earlier time frame. Also, research revealed some unknown facts of Nasta Rojc’s life, about her education and thoughts on photography. It proved she used all available functional aspects of the media; documentary photographs, photographs as templates for paintings, as well as private photographs which might be listed as “art photographs”.
