Petar Palaviccini

He also participated in a large number of group exhibitions in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia at the time, namely Split, Osijek, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Novi Sad) and in Europe (Barcelona, Sofia, Plovdiv, Prague, London, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Leningrad, Bratislava, Warsaw, Kraków, Budapest).

[1] There he became informed about the prevailing trends in world sculpture, and when he graduated he settled in Belgrade, where he was commissioned to create numerous portraits and figurines for the newly-constructed municipal buildings then being developed in the capital.

[2] His work is representative of the classical tradition yet combined with a modern cubist style for figurines for which he is famous.

Around 1922, his recognizable expression was created, which is one of the most original and modern in Yugoslav sculpture between the two world wars, which he called "spiritualized cubism".

The main stylistic feature was a simplified form, almost reduced to a voluminous drawing, which he showed in a series of portraits created during the third decade.
