👩‍🎨 Featured Painters & Works

• Edo Murtić (1921–2005) – A pioneer of lyrical abstraction and informal painting. His dynamic 1950 piece “Zadar” highlights vivid color and abstracted forms.
• Julije Knifer (1924–2004) – Known for geometric “meander” motifs, “Meandar” (1978) exemplifies his minimalist trademark.
• Miroslav Šutej (1936–2005) – A versatile modernist, his 1962 “Drawing” reflects his graphic and kinetic art style.

These artists are key figures in Croatia’s post-war modern art movement.
