| Osor's garden sculptures
«Sculpture and Music» - A row of bronze sculptures based on the theme of music.
The sculptures are laid during that period of the year when Osor's Musical
Evenings are held, enriching Osor with the works of important Croatian
sculptors. Thus, the idea was born to place a row of statues with reproductions
from the most famous Croatian sculptors such as Ivan Meštrović, Fran
Kršinić,Vanje Radauš, Ivan Rosandić and Belizar Bahorić, creating a unique
sculpture line, as well as original works of Marija Ujević dedicated to the
musician Jakov Gotovac. |
