Ivan Sabolić

"Three Fists"

Ivan Sabolić (August 24, 1921 - June 25, 1986) was a Croatian sculptor, professor and dean of the Academy of Fine Arts Zagreb, head master of the workshop in 1975.

Sabolić was born in Peteranec. Self-taught, he made his first works in clay, including portraits of his father, mother and grandfather, which make up his oldest surviving works. Sabolić was a member of the postwar generation of sculptors who from the mid-20th century sought to escape from the strict framework of socialist realism and commissioned art, and remain faithful to the Croatian tradition.

He made a monument of "Three Fists" on a hill in Bubanj Memorial Park, Palilula municipality of Niš.[1] It opened on October 14, 1963.[2]

Ivan Sabolić died in Zagreb.
