Biography
Biography
Kljaković was professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb from 1921 to 1943. He lived in the Art Nouveau neighbourhood of Rokov perivoj in Zagreb.[1] Notably, he painted a cycle of 14 frescoes for the St. Mark's Church in the city. He was chiefly influenced by Art Nouveau, Ferdinand Hodler and Ivan Meštrović, a friend of his.[2][3] In Croatia he is described as a "master of fresco painting". His former home in Zagreb is now an art centre. • Illustration — Fresco by Jozo Kljaković: Polaganje Isusa u grob
