Đuro Seder

He was one of the founding members of the Gorgona Group, whose active members between 1959 and 1966 were Miljenko Horvat, Ivan Kožarić, Julije Knifer, Dimitrije Bašičević (who also worked under the name Mangelos), Matko Meštrović, Radoslav Putar, Marijan Jevšovar, and Josip Vaništa.

During the Gorgona period he was more active in the group than with solo presentations, and his work was marked by the informel-influenced disintegration of form, negation of traditional painting techniques, and reduced use of colours, which can be seen for example in his works, Anonymous Form, (1963) and Little Signs (1964).

[2] Seder also contributed to the group's publication of the same name, and wrote texts and poetry in the literary magazines Razlog, Kolo and Republika.

At the beginning of the 1970s Seder radically changed his mode of painting; he began using a wider range of colours, realistic figurative forms, and expressive gestures.

[3] He worked at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb (from 1981 on) where he was later appointed Professor Emeritus.
