(Ljubljana, 1893 - Opatija, Croatia, 1970)
Lojze Dolinar, a Slovene sculptor, studied at academies in Vienna and Munich, and during World War I he was in Judenburg, then in New York, and several times in Paris and Italy. He then moved to Belgrade, where he became a full professor of sculpture at the academy there, and after 1959 he lived and worked in Kranj. He reached his creative peak between the two world wars. Dolinar, with his early works, moved into the field of expressive modeling, as he had an exceptional sense of monumental figures. His portraits, nudes and figural compositions are marked by the contrast between rough and smooth processing and a disproportionate body dimension. Together with his colleague Jože Plečnik, they designed monuments to Slovenian composers, the Illyrian Pillar and other monuments (summarized from Wikipedia).
