Dragomir Arambašić

[2] His decision to practice sculpture was influenced by his acquaintance with Czech sculptor Jan Konjarek, who lived and worked in Belgrade at the time.

He began his sculpture studies in Dresden with Anton von Werner and graduated from the Accademia di San Luca in Rome with Giuseppe Ferrari.

[5] Entering the Antonin Mercié Atelier in 1912 he accepted the postulates found there, including the "Florentine renewals" evident in his works "The Girl with the Broken Tug" and "The Fisherman casts the net".

[6][3] His 1925 "Defense" sculpture was erected in the lobby of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and represents the personalities of the three constituent peoples, then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

[9] Arambašić's notable work is "Awakening Fountain", which is located in front of the central entrance to the Cvijeta Zuzorić Art Pavilion in Kalemegdan Park, and was erected in 1936.
