1883-1962

A Centennial Exhibition

A SURVEY OF DRAWINGS AND PRINTS PRIMARILY FROM THE MESTROVIC FAMILY COLLECTION

The Snite Museum of Art

University of Notre Dame April 24 - August 20, 1983

SUMMARY:

The career of the sculptor, commonly referred to as “the Maestro,” is inextricably linked to the University of Notre Dame and the Snite Museum of Art. Meštrović was brought to campus in 1955 by Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, the legendary 15th-president of the university. Until his death in January of 1962 Meštrović  served as “sculptor in residence” at Notre Dame, where he created a wide array of work now found across the campus and in the museum. By the time of his arrival in the United States in 1947 Meštrović was a celebrated figure; his work had been the subject of exhibitions at both the Art Institute of Chicago and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he was the first living artist to be offered a one-person show.
