Eterović Joško – Green Square

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 Sušac Gymnasium) and partly in Zagreb, and from 1969 to 1977 in Paris. Since 1977, he has been living and working 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 in Croatia and abroad. His works are part of numerous public and private collections. His artistic work has gone through various phases and cycles. The entire opus of Joško Eterović can be viewed in two segments: painting and sculpture, on the surface in painting, drawing, and collage, and in space in objects, installations, and sculptures. From his very first exhibitions, he revealed key characteristics of his art: geometric rigor, abstraction, and a tendency towards reductionism—qualities he continued to explore and never abandoned.
