Dusan Dzamonja

Dusan Dzamonja was a Yugoslav artist and sculptor. He is known for his radical art during the Yugoslavian period, having a major influence on the Abstract Expressionism movement in the Balkans. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, where he was greatly influenced by the sculptor Antun Augustinčić. After obtaining a degree in sculpture and painting, he went on to become a professor at the same institution. His works merge elements of modernist art and traditional Yugoslavian art, often being abstract in nature. His most acclaimed works are the Nekada I Sada Monument, the Lena's Monument and the Monument to the Revolution.
