Zoran Mušič, the best known 20th
century Slovenian-born painter
and a man with more than one
homeland, spent most of his life
between Venice and Paris. He
mostly painted landscapes, still
lifes, portraits, Dalmatian donkeys
and horses, trees, views of Venice,
double portraits with his wife
Ida, and poignant self-portraits
depicting him as an old man. His
visual motifs were always related
to the Slovenian region of Kras and
its typical scenes. He became world
famous with his series of paintings
We Are Not the Last, in which he
relived the scenes he experienced
in the Dachau concentration camp.
Ljubljana’s National Gallery displays
the world’s only permanent survey
exhibition of Mušič’s work. The
majority of exhibited works come
from the Ljuban, Milada and Vanda
Mušič Collection, owned by the
family of the artist’s brother.
