Eterović Joško – Cycle Desaccords

Joško Eterović was born in 1943 in Split. He lived in Pučišća on the island of Brač. From 1957 to 1969, he lived in Rijeka (where he attended the Sušačka high school) and partially in Zagreb, and from 1969 to 1977 in Paris. Since 1977, he has lived and worked in Zagreb, Rijeka, and Paris. He began exhibiting independently in 1970, with his first exhibition held at the Galerie de Beaune in Paris. Since then, he has participated in about a hundred group and solo exhibitions both domestically and internationally. His works are held in numerous public and private collections. His artistic work evolved through different phases, through cycles. The entire oeuvre of Joško Eterović can be seen in two segments: painting and sculpture, on flat surfaces in painting, drawing, and collage, and in space through objects, installations, and sculptures. From his very first exhibitions, he revealed essential traits of his art: geometric rigor, abstraction, and a tendency towards reductionism – qualities he would continuously explore and never abandon.
