Vladimir Herljević: Sculptures

With his impressive sculptural opus, Vladimir Herljević is firmly weaved into the fabric of Croatian art. Herljević was born in 1930 in Vareš (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and in 1951 he enrolled into the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. He graduated in 1956 in the class of professor Antun Augustinčić, in whose Master Workshop he spent more than two decades. He continues to work with full intensity even today, near the Master's atelier in Zagreb's Tuškanac.

Herljević is a first-rate restoration expert. He restored a number of capital Croatian monuments.

Vladimir Herljević, an artist of cultivated expression, true to his poeticism, expanded the possibilities for artistic elaboration of the “eternal” theme of fine arts – the female nude. Creating tirelessly over decades, he grew into an author of statuary intimism, a great value within Croatian modern art.
