Preradovic 1867 - 1927
Education:
With Maria Egner (Vienna)
Kunstschule für Frauen und Mädchen (Vienna)
Biography: Daughter of the well-known poet and general Petar
Preradovic. She lost her father at the age of five. Her
mother, née Regnar, born in Vienna, made it possible for
her artistic education, first in the Arts School for Women
and Girls, and then with several good masters in Vienna,
among whom the best known was Maria Egner. She also spent
three seasons in the artists colony in Dachau near Munich.
At the same time she exhibited in the Künstlerhaus in Vienna,
in Salzburg and Prague. She lived in Vienna for a considerable
time, and moved to Zagreb only in 1918, where she opened
a private arts school. The popularity (and commercial success)
of her "Still Lives", especially with motifs of
flowers, is seen by the fact that, from 1918, the "Salon
Ullrich" gallery in Zagreb had an exhibition of her
work every year at Christmas (and even posthumously, until
1927).
