The Sculpture of Ivan Mestrovic

Potpourri

VIC. Syracuse Univ. Press, $15.

“The greatest phenomenon among the sculptors" Rodin said of Ivan Mestrovic, who is now teaching at Syracuse University, an exile from his native Yugoslavia. This presentation of Mestrovic’s work is a truly superb production job. It contains 158 large plates the format is 10 by 14 inches — printed by gravure on specially milled paper and prefaced by a biography and bibliography. The volume is likely to become a collector’s item since many of Mestrovic’s finest works, located in Yugoslavia, are now virtually inaccessible, and all previous Mestrovic publications are out of print.
