Krsto Hegedušić – battle for life and art. Study for Golgota fresco and it’s realization

Summary/Abstract: In this paper a study byKrsto Hegedušić for his fresco Golgota in Croatian national sanctuary in Marija Bistrica has been analized. Study was made in 1944. in it’s fully coloristical shine and realized a few decades later, in 2008. by painters- restaurators couple Eugen Kokot and Egidio Budicin. The reason why Krsto Hegdušić didn’t finish the fresco himself remains unkown. Some of the challanges that followed Hegedušić on the way to complete the fresco have been described in this paper. He has been inprisoned a couple of times, because of his political views, but he never gave up on his thesis. His art can be followed from his arrival in Hlebine, little village in Podravina, that for ever remained written in his heart. While he resided in Paris, he saw new opportunities, so as he came back, he got involved in the ‘‘Zemlja“ art association, and was one of the most prominent members. Krsto Hegedušić left his signatures on the walls as well, and one of his most representative wall painting is surely Golgota.
