Vanja Radauš (29 April 1906, Vinkovci, Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia – 24 April 1975) was a Croatian sculptor, painter and writer.[1]
Life
After attending elementary and high school in his home town of Vinkovci, he studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb from 1924 to 1930.[2] During World War II he participated in the National Liberation movement.[2] He was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1945 to 1969.[1]
In 1975, he committed suicide. He is buried in the Mirogoj Cemetery in Zagreb.[3]
Work
His early pieces (up to 1943) show the obvious influence of Rodin and Bourdelle. After the war, he concentrated on several sculptural "cycles" including: Typhus (1956–59), Panopticum Croaticum (1959–61), Man and Limestone (1961–63) and Pillars of Croatian Culture (1969-75). His work ranges in size from medals to large monuments.[1]
