About Zoran Mušič
Zoran Mušič, baptised as Anton Zoran Musič, was a Slovene painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. He was the only painter of Slovene descent who managed to establish himself in the elite cultural circles of Italy and France, particularly Paris in the second half of the 20th century, where he lived for most of his later life. He painted landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, as well as scenes of horror from the Dachau concentration camp and vedute of Venice. Mušič's father was mobilized and served on various battlefields during the First World War. From the drawings, mainly created in May 1945, he managed to save around one hundred (some more with his friends). At the same time he won the Gualino prize and in 1956 the Grand Prize for his printmaking at the Venice Biennale.
