Josip Jordan - biography
Vasilije Jordan was born in 1934 in Zagreb. In
1948 he started studying at the School of Applied Arts and
in 1953 began his studies at the Art Academy in Zagreb,
in the class of one of the greatest figures of Croatian
painting, Prof. Ljubo Babic. Besides his tutor, powerful
influences were those of painters Krsto Hegedusic and Vjekoslav
Parac. With his first one-man show held in 1961 at Zagreb's
Gallery of Contemporary Art, Jordan was immediately recognized
as an outstanding painter whose works opened the way for
new ideas in art. Numerous one-man shows have followed,
as well as representative group exhibitions abroad. Jordan
has worked closely with the Aghte Gallery in Antwerp, Galerie
Lambert in Paris, with Gallery Isy Brachot in Brussels and
since 1986 with Selearte in Padua. Vasilije Jordan's work
has attracted serious attention of prominent international
critics, such as Patric Waldberg, Stephen Rey, Bruno Munari,
J.M. Lo Duce and the poet Alain Bosquet. He has won many
prestigious awards and several monographs devoted to his
work have been published.
