Croatian female 19 century artists

Mira Klobucar 28.07.1888 - 10.07.1956
Education:
With Schmidt-Wahner in Vienna, 1939.
Provisional College of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb (1908-1912), School of Art, (London, 1930.)
Biography: She was the daughter of the renowned Zagreb constructor Herman Ehrlich (Našice, 1836, Zagreb, 1895) and Marija née Eisner, the eldest daughter of the Zagreb rabbi. After the death of her father, being a rich spoilt beauty, her mother sent her to the Sacre Cśur College in Vienna, in order to continue her education. First she married a Hungarian official Lackmer, but divorced him after the First World War, and married the naval officer Viktor Klobucar, with whom she lived on Tuškanac (part of Zagreb) in a villa designed by her brother, the famous architect Hugo Ehrlich, and in the villa on Sušak, part of Rijeka. Despite her lengthy art education, her opus is rather small, as she painted only in moments of particular inspiration. Nevertheless, she exhibited as a member of the Women's Fine Arts Club (1933-1940) and as a member of ULUH (Croatian Artists' Association) (1947-1948). Her work was included in the exhibition Half a Century of Croatian Art (1938). From the same family of artists, Marta, the daughter of Mira's brother Ernest, produced a much bigger opus.
