  • Winter Afternoon, N.D
    Winter Afternoon, n.d. Maximillian Vanka (Croatian), (1889–1963) oil on academy board H. 20 x W. 24 inches Courtesy of Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22, Pennsylvania Biography Maximillian Vanka was born in Croatia in 1889. Croatia is a Central European and Mediterranean country bordering the Adriatic Sea. He may have been the son Austro-Hungarian nobility, but no one knows for sure. Maxo (his nickname) Vanka was raised by peasants until the age of eight. Maxo felt very connected to the history, mythology and customs of his homeland. Maximilian Vanka studied at the Zagreb Academy of Art in the capitol of Croatia, and the Royal Academy of Beaux Arts in Brussels in Northern Europe. He soon became one of the country's best portrait artists and leading painters, as well as a highly respected teacher at the Academy of Beaux Arts in Zagreb. He was celebrated as the finest Yugoslavian portraitist in the 1920's and 1930's. He exhibited throughout Europe, receiving such honors as the 'Palme Academique' of the French Legion of Honor, before moving to the United States in 1934. When Vanka came to America, he first settled in New York City. This was during a very difficult time in American history known as the Depression. He wore old clothes and traveled through the city painting homeless people and laborers. His paintings show the sad lives of these people, yet his style makes them look important in the paintings. In doing this he wanted to show that all people have something to contribute to the world.

  • Reading a Painting: Maxo Vanka's Collage
    READING A PAINTING: MAXO VANKA’S COLLAGE »WORLD WAR II« Henry A. Christian Tine T. K urent Only within the last few years has there begun a measurement of the quantity and quality of theoeuvre of the Croatian artist Maksimilian - usually called Maxo - Vanka (1889-1963). That assessment-in-progress now makes possible the determination of several geographical and chronological categories of Vanka’s production. The Ilegitimate child of Austro-Hungarian nobility, Vanka was educated in Zagreb and Brussels, gained the protection of Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians, served in the Belgian Red Cross as a stretcher bearer, and finished the Great War as a pacifist in Zagreb. The subject today of a second look in his native land, the artist’s Croatian work - known in the United States to a few of Croatian descent - represents a primary category of Vanka materials. A professor at the Academy of Art in Zagreb, under the directorship of the famous sculptor Ivan Mestrovic, Vanka became known throughout Western Europe for precise and distinctive portraits, landscapes - especially scenes on the island of Korčula - and accurate renderings of various regional peasant dress and symbols, such as the religious procession presentation in the Modem Gallery in Zagreb, the wedding scene now in the upper hall of the Zagreb Old Town Hall, or the stunning lone, standing woman in white in the small gallery adjoining the monument to the Peasant Revolts at Gornja Stubica. A second category has its origin in 1934 when Vanka and his American wife Margaret (nee Stetten) and their daughter Peggy visited the United States and a year later decided to take permanent residence in America despite Vanka’s reluctance to be within the strong financial and social aura of his wife’s family.
