In this episode, we’ll be visiting Girl with a fawn by Nada Stanic at the Museums and Galleries of Podgorica, Montenegro. Welcome to Art, Culture & Books with me, Anthony King.
As always, I take all the photos and videos myself on location, ensuring you get an up-close and personal view of the fascinating world of art and culture.

Nada Stanic (1931-2012) was the first female sculpture of Montenegro to come to prominence. Montenegro was formerly part of Yugoslavia and officially gained independence in 2006 … I had to double check that date but it was then that the former Union of Serbia and Montenegro ended. This sculpture is made of plaster. The art historian Olga Perović said of her work: “Nada’s sculptures are not made softly and sentimentally, even when the motive leads to it – depiction of love, figures of women and children”.
