Biography
Biography
In 1942 his work was featured among the Croatian exhibits at the Venice Biennale. Over the course of the Second World War he had exhibitions in Berlin, Vienna and Bratislava. He painted a portrait for Croatian leader Ante Pavelić at his request, which Pavelić later declined. In 1946, Crnobori escaped the newly established Communist Yugoslavia and went to Italy. The following year he moved to Argentina where he lived until 1978. He subsequently moved to New York City in the United States of America. Here he painted Milka Trnina for the Metropolitan Opera and also left several works for the Croatian diaspora. Crnobori returned to Croatia in 1999 before dying in 2005.
