When we talk about the contemporary photography, it’s impossible not to mention Ante and Zvonimir Brkan. Combining arresting visuals with coastal themes, they were key members of the progressive Zadar Photographic Circle, which founded the exhibition Man and the Sea, the triennial of contemporary photography in 1957. It enjoyed particular acclaim during the ’50s and ‘60s, travelling to over 50 countries. So, not only were they two of Croatia’s most important photographers, but they were also perhaps two of the people most responsible for breathing the spirit of Zadar out and over the rest of the world.
