Jerkovic - Papp 25.12.1894 - 8.08.1975.
Education:
Vienna, Paris , Provisional College of Arts and Crafts (Zagreb
1918/19)
Biography: Among the women painters from Slavonia, born
in the 19th century, along with Štefana Klaic, the most
talented was Ana Jerkovic, thirty years her junior. Just
as her husband, painter Petar Papp (whom she married on
1st November 1919), she did not stay at the Zagreb Art school
until graduation, but, after initial lessons with Csikos
and Becic, she continued her studies in Vienna and Paris.
She and her husband Petar were an example of a faithful
art couple, and their life courses had two parallel lines,
sharing the good and bad. After their educational travels
through European cities they returned home and worked as
art teachers in Ilok, Karlovac and in Zagreb. They published
caricatures in "Koprive", with Ana being more
engaged in supplements and illustrations for children. They
travelled extensively in France (1930), Spain (1935), Italy
(1937), Ukraine (after 1945). Petar died two years before
her. They are both buried in the Zagreb cemetery of Mirogoj.
