Details

Slovenian painter. He studied for three years at the Graz School of Painting under the Slovenian painter M. Bredaska and the Italian painter N. Milanesi. In 1896 he studied at the Azbe School in Munich, where he was influenced by Franz von Defregger (1835-1921) and Arnold Böcklin. After 1902 he evolved towards Impressionism and with other Yugoslav painters tried to develop a distinctly Slovenian version of modern art. His first works in this period were in Late Romantic and Art Nouveau style and were visibly influenced by the North Italian painter Giovanni Segantini, especially his pantheistic landscapes and firm brushwork. After 1904 he lived mostly at Skofja Loka and he changed to an Impressionist style influenced by Pointillism. //
