Zoran Mušič (1909-2005) is a major Slovenian painter and printmaker of the twentieth century, whose work, deeply marked by the experience of detention, sits within the history of the New School of Paris. Born in Gorizia, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb before temporarily settled in Spain, then Dalmatia and Venice, developing an early style influenced by arid landscapes and traditional motifs. His life took a dramatic turn in November 1944 when he was arrested by the Gestapo on suspicion of aiding the resistance and deported to the Dachau concentration camp. In this hell, he clandestinely produced dozens of poignant drawings, capturing the horror of piled corpses and the agony of his fellow prisoners—works that, more than twenty years later, would serve as the matrix for his famous painting series We Are Not the Last. After liberation in 1945, he settled in Venice and divided his life with Paris from 1953 onward, joining international circles of lyrical abstraction and informal art. His style evolved toward an extreme simplification, characterized by earthy, ochre, and gray tones, where Italy’s rugged landscapes and memorial portraits merge in an atmosphere of timeless melancholy. Recognized by the world’s greatest institutions, he exhibited several times at the Venice Biennale and received prestigious prizes before passing away in Venice, leaving behind a pictorial testament of universal humanitarian power about the fragility and resilience of the human condition.
