Vlaho Bukovac belongs to the record of art as a figure whose work outlasted the taste that first received it.
The record lists Vlaho Bukovac as Croatian painter (1855-1922).
Vlaho Bukovac was born at Cavtat in 1855. His recorded nationality is Austria. He trained at Beaux-Arts de Paris.
The nineteenth century broke the academy's authority: independent exhibitions, dealers and the beginnings of modernism.
He worked as painter, university teacher and teacher.
His recorded movement is post-impressionism.
His best-known work is Reclining nude (Une fleur). Art history is a record of what got kept, which is not the same as what was best.
That the work was made in Austria shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Vlaho Bukovac died in 1922, aged 67. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
