(Zagorica, Videm - Dobrepolje, 1895 - Ljubljana, 1960)
France Kralj, a Slovenian painter, sculptor, graphic artist, illustrator and pedagogue, is considered the leading figure in expressionism in Slovenia. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Ljubljana, then worked as an assistant in the workshop of the Klagenfurt sculptor Alojzije Podlogar. Later, Kralj enrolled in the sculpture department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where after completing his studies he perfected his knowledge in the painting department of the Prague Academy of Fine Arts. It was during his short stay in Prague that the artist formed his visual language, which is reflected in the artist's famous works from the expressionist phase (religious motifs, killed earth tones, fatal suffering, the breakdown of faith). Later, Kralj with strong color symbolism came formally close to the edge of abstraction (summarized from Wikipedia).
