Etching "Marghera" by Anton Zoran Mušič (Boccavizza, 1909 – Venice, 2005), 1983. Plate: 23.8 x 32.5 cm. Anton Zoran Mušič was a painter and printmaker trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. Once he finished his studies he traveled between Spain and Central Europe and then settled in Venice. During the Second World War he was deported to the concentration camp in Dachau and here he secretly created a series of drawings that testify to his atrocious experience. It is an experience that he will always carry in his soul and in his art and which will find confirmation in a series of works from the 1970s entitled "We are not the last". Having returned to freedom in 1945, he returned to Venice and in 1950 took part in the Biennale. During the 1950s and after a period in Paris he focused on and studied the surrounding environment, especially Italian landscapes.
